| Axminster Hundred covers the southeastern corner of Devon. It is #1 on the map.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Axminster Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "AXMINSTER, a town, a subdistrict, a hundred, and a district, in Devon; and a parish partly also in Dorset. The town stands on a rising ground, adjacent to the river Axe, above the influx of the Yarty, and contiguous to the Yeovil and Exeter railway, 25 miles E by N of Exeter. It has a station on the railway; which serves also for Lyme-Regis. ....The hundred contains thirteen parishes, and an extra-parochial tract. Acres: 48,699. Population: 10,823. Houses: 2,178."
GENUKI provides a further description from White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Devonshire of 1850.
