The hundred has remained unchanged since the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was called Tenrige. Approximately one sixth of all the serfs in Surrey belonged to the Tandridge hundred before the abolition of that social status across the country in the early Middle Ages. [2] [3]

Custody of the hundred was granted to Thomas Hunt in the reign of James I. [1]
