| The country was divided into shires, the shire into districts called hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. |
| Dunster was only represented in parliament in conjunction with Minehead, one of its tithings being part of that borough. |
| After this, each hundred was further divided under Athelstan into groups of ten freemen called tithings, of which there seem to have been ten in every hundred. |
| The St. George Temple was built by free-will offerings and by appropriations from the tithings of the people. |
| Cultivation was begun, and the land divided into hundreds, tithings and hides. |
| As ten families of freeholders made up a tithing, so ten tithings composed a superior division, called a hundred. |
