Note 461 — Chapter IX · THE MUTUAL GUARANTEE. MÆGBURH. TITHING. HUNDRED.
Reading edition
It is very remarkable how many modern parishes may be perambulated with no other direction than the boundaries found in the Codex Diplomaticus. To this very day the little hills, brooks, even meadows and small farms, bear the names they bore before the time of Ælfred, and the Mark may be traced with certainty upon the local information of the labourer on the modern estate.
