Name	Wootton Hundred
Type	Hundred
Located in	Oxfordshire, England

Wootton Hundred was very much in the centre of Oxfordshire, England. It covered the environs of Oxford, particularly to the west, and also the area around the town of Witney.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Wootton Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"The hundred contains 35 parishes. Acres: 67,590. Population: 23,011. Houses: 4,901."

The introductory chapter of A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 11 has a map outlining all the parishes of the hundred, but the parish descriptions are spread over Volumes 11 and 12.
