For a definition of "wapentake", see the article entitled Hundred (county division) in Wikipedia.

Wapentakes, the Old Norse form of the Anglo-Saxon "hundred", are dealt with in Section 1.4, but Sections 1.1 (Hundred courts) and 1.2 (Administrative functions) deal with the concept and purposes of wapentakes along with those of "hundreds" used in English counties further south.

Harthill was a wapentake of the historic East Riding of Yorkshire, England consisting of the central part of the county. Established in medieval times, it ceased to have much significance in the 19th century when the wapentakes were superseded by other administrative divisions for most local government purposes.

Because of its large area it was sub-divided into four divisions:

  • Bainton Beacon Division (#7 on map)
  • Holme Beacon Division (#4 on map)
  • Hunsley Beacon Division (#6 on map)
  • Wilton Beacon Division (#3 on map)

An old map showing both parishes and divisions has not been found, so the table following only lists the main parishes and the subsidiary places. This is unfortunate because, as it stands, it is a very long table.
