Etymology

'Æti 's cross', from the OE  pers.n. Æti and cros , at Croes Ati in Flintshire, v. NCPN 233. 'Dudd's stone', from the OE  pers.n. Dud (d ) and stān , meeting-place unknown, but cf. foll. The hundred is now called after Broxton 12infra , but there is no record of a hundred-meeting at Broxton, and it looks as if the meeting was at Golborne Hundred 88infra (perhaps Dudestan ) save that the barony of Malpas kept its own hundred-court at Malpas, v. 39infra . Broxton Hundred contains Dudestan Hundred less its detached parts now included in Eddisbury Hundred (Rushton, Over, Little Budworth, Alpraham, Alretone and Opetone 3 291, 170, 184, 300, 211, 161 and Thornton le Moors 3258), and less its members Bettisfield, Burwardestone and Worthenbury now included in Flintshire, and with the addition of Picton, Upton, Guilden Sutton, Mickle Trafford & Wervin 132, 142, 126, 133, 137infra , from Wilaveston (Wirral) Hundred, and Newton by Chester 145 infra from Chester Hundred, and Marlston cum Lache, Claverton and Dodleston 162, 160, 156infra , from Atiscros Hundred. The following are lost places in the hundred of Dudestan .
