The hundred of Ripplesmere formed one of the Seven Hundreds of
Cookham and Bray. (fn. 1) In 1086 it included, besides the places mentioned
above, the township of Warfield, (fn. 2) afterwards added to Wargrave Hundred
(q.v.), and the unidentified township of Ortone. (fn. 3) New Windsor appears
never to have been within the jurisdiction of Ripplesmere Hundred. In
1316 New Windsor was returned as a borough, and the hundred of
Ripplesmere consisted of Easthampstead, Winkfield and Ascot, Clewer and
Dedworth, and Old Windsor. (fn. 4)
