Since way back in the Anglo Saxon era, the country's parishes
had been split into
administrative districts called Hundreds. At the time of the
Domesday Survey, there were 29 Hundreds in Northamptonshire,
and
Cotingeham lay within the Stoke (Stoche/Stoce/Stoc) Hundred.
By the time of the 'Nomina
Villarum' a survey carried out in the first half of the 12th Century, the Stoke Hundred had been
absorbed into the Corby Hundred. The 1841 Census was the last to group parishes by Hundreds,
but reference to Cottingham being in the Corby Hundred can be found as late as
1914, in Kelly's Directory.
