A large number of Hundred names refer to hills or mounds.

Some of these at least are very conspicuous hills, which afford a commanding view of the countryside for miles around.

From the beginning, Staffordshire was divided into the hundreds of Seisdon, Pirehill, Totmonslow, Cuttleston and Offlow.

[2] The Hundred contained Wolverhampton, the largest town of the county, and many populous villages, which were constituted into 15 parishes, part of 5 others and 2 extra-parochial areas.

The extensive parish of Wolverhampton contained several townships, only some of which were in Seisdon Hundred.

[8] The town of Dudley with its suburbs formed a detached portion of the county of Worcestershire.
