A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Guiltcross Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1871-72:
- "GUILTCROSS, a [registration] district and a hundred in Norfolk; at the middle of the S border of the county, contiguous to Suffolk. The name was originally Gydecross; and is supposed to have been derived from a remarkable cross, ornamented with gold, and of great antiquity. The district comprehends the [registration] sub-district of Banham and the [registration] sub-district of Kenninghall...The hundred contains only eleven of the parishes of the district; but includes part of a parish not in the district. Acres: 28,340. Population in 1851: 7,446; in 1861: 6,748. Houses: 1,489.
GENUKI provides another description of Guiltcross Hundred from White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845. It includes a table showing the populations of the individual parishes in 1841.
A map, also from GENUKI, illustrates the locations of the various parishes within the hundred.
