As with the counties, they were introduced into Wales through the Laws in Wales Act (1535) and the Laws in Wales Act (1542). Prior to this a similar administrative system, the 'Cantref' had existed in Wales and some of the hundreds created after 1535 were based on the older Cantref boundaries. The hundred administrative unit was used throughout the Middle Ages and early modern period and was still in use for census purposes as late as 1841. By the end of the nineteenth century, the hundreds began to fall out of use and were ultimately replaced by local government districts. The mapping of historical boundaries requires many sources to be consulted. The most important has been the large scale first edition Ordnance Survey County Series mapping. The first edition six-inch to the Mile (1:10,560) scale mapping has been digitised by the National Library of Scotland (NLS) and this has provided a reliable source to map the boundaries from. As the project progresses, larger-scale sources such as the 25-inch (1:2,500) scale Ordnance Survey mapping will be used to refine the boundaries. Earlier cartographic sources will also be consulted such as Enclosure and Estate mapping and the Welsh Tithe Maps digitised by the National Library of Wales.  All of the digital boundary datasets have been made available for public use under the Open Government Licence for public sector information. This means that you are free to copy, publish, distribute and adapt the information. We ask that when using this information that you acknowledge where this information has come from using the following accreditation: ‘© Crown Copyright, Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales  available under Open Government License 3.0’ Or ‘© Crown Copyright, RCAHMW available under Open Government License 3.0’    Historical boundaries are recorded on a variety of sources such as old maps and documents. This project aims to make the information recorded in these sources usable and accessible in a digital environment. https://historical-boundaries-of-wales-rcahmw.hub.arcgis.com/  completed Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments originator ESRI Shapefile 1.0 historic environment Boundaries Boundary theme Global place United Kingdom place license Open Government Licence for Public Sector Information (OGL): (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/) vector en utf8 boundaries -5.474036368101666 -2.643498154772978 51.33290500117262 53.458710840186576 1542-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 1850-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://datamap.gov.wales WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Online link to the 'Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales' description on GeoNode https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetLegendGraphic&format=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&LAYER=geonode:historic_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&STYLE=historic_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&version=1.3.0&sld_version=1.1.0&legend_options=fontAntiAliasing:true;fontSize:12;forceLabels:on WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (Legend Format) /static/geonode/img/missing_thumb.png?v=9d8790be WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (Thumbnail Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=gml2&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gml Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (GML 2.0 Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=SHAPE-ZIP&srs=EPSG%3A27700&format_options=charset%3AUTF-8 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .zip Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (Zipped Shapefile Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=json&srs=EPSG%3A27700&srsName=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .json Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (GeoJSON Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=excel&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .excel Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (Excel Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=csv&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .csv Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (CSV Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=text%2Fxml%3B+subtype%3Dgml%2F3.1.1&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gml Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (GML 3.1.1 Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=dxf&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .dxf Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (DXF Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&outputFormat=gpkg&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gpkg Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (OGC Geopackage Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&format=image%2Fpng&height=550&width=442&srs=EPSG%3A27700&bbox=169202.609375%2C164529.421875%2C355309.59375%2C395983.5625 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (PNG Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&format=application%2Fpdf&height=550&width=442&srs=EPSG%3A27700&bbox=169202.609375%2C164529.421875%2C355309.59375%2C395983.5625 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .pdf Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (PDF Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=geonode%3Ahistoric_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply&format=image%2Fjpeg&height=550&width=442&srs=EPSG%3A27700&bbox=169202.609375%2C164529.421875%2C355309.59375%2C395983.5625 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .jpg Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (JPEG Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/download/7124 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .zip Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales (Original dataset Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows OGC:WFS geonode:historic_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply Service - Provides Layer: Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows OGC:WMS geonode:historic_hundreds_bng_rcahmw_ply Service - Provides Layer: Historic Hundreds Boundaries of Wales dataset
