The civil parishes in the hundred were: Abbotsham, Alwington, Beaford, Bideford, Buckland Brewer, Buckland Filleigh, Bulkworthy, East Putford, Frithelstock, Huish, Iddesleigh, Landcross, Langtree, Little Torrington, Littleham (near Bideford), Meeth, Merton, Monkleigh, Newton St Petrock, Northam, Parkham, Peters Marland, Petrockstowe, Shebbear, Sheepwash and Weare Giffard [1] The island of Lundy, in the northwest of the county, also belongs to Shebbear Hundred, but it is not a civil parish as it formerly was, but an unparished area.
