North Tawton Hundred was the name of one of 32 ancient administrative units of Devon. In the nineteenth century Winkleigh became part of North Tawton and they together were known as the Hundred of North Tawton and Winkleigh. There are 44 separate places within the Hundred mentioned in the Domesday Book. The parishes in the hundred were: Ashreigney, Atherington, Bondleigh, Bow, Broad Nymet, Brushford, Burrington, Chawleigh, Clannaborough, Coldridge, Dolton, Dowland, Down St Mary, Eggesford, High Bickington, Lapford, North Tawton, Nymet Rowland, Wembworthy, Winkleigh and Zeal Monachorum.
