"KINWARDSTONE, a hundred in the E of Wilts; containing Great and Little Bedwin parishes, thirteen other parishes, and parts of three others. Acres: 60,124. Population in 1851: 11,849; in 1861: 12,310. Houses: 2,542."

Kinwardstone Hundred is bounded by Selkley and Ramsbury Hundreds on the north, the county of Berkshire (since 1974 Oxfordshire) on the east, Elstub and Everleigh Hundred on the south, and Swanborough Hundred on the west.

The Hundred and its individual parishes are covered in Volume 16 of the Victoria County History for Wiltshire
