During our USAF tour of England, 1986 - 1989, we lived in East Anglia, near Thetford, England. We often visited friends in Thetford, and we often drove through King's Lynn on the way to somewhere else.

The Viking Wars: War and Peace in King Alfred's Britain, 789- 955, Max Adams, c. 2018, led me to this:

From wiki:

Between Anglo-Saxon times and the nineteenth century Norfolk was divided for administrative purposes into hundreds, plus the boroughs of Norwich, King's Lynn, Thetford and Great Yarmouth. Each hundred had a separate council that met each month to rule on local judicial and taxation matters.

The shire-system was not definitely established in East Anglia before the [Norman] Conquest, but the boundaries at the time of the Domesday Survey of 1086 remain largely unchanged to the present day. The 36 Domesday hundreds were subdivided into leets, of which no trace remains, and the boroughs of Norwich and Thetford ranked as separate hundreds, while Great Yarmouth was the chief town of three hundreds.

Two of Thetford's parishes now lie partially in Norfolk with the remainder in Suffolk.

The Domesday hundred of Emneth is now included in Freebridge while Freebridge itself, originally a hundred and a half, was later split into Freebridge-Lynn and Freebridge-Marshland. Docking hundred is now incorporated into that of Smithdon, and the boundary between Brothercross and Gallow hundred has been considerably changed. By the 19th century there were the 33 hundreds.

The leet court boundaries were more fluid and transient than the hundred court boundaries. Yet it may be possible to trace many of the early leets of Brothercross hundred. At the time of Domesday, the parishes of the hundreds of Brothercross and Gallow "were strangely intermixed". 

From time to time during the following eight centuries, various parishes of Brothercross hundred were transferred to Gallow hundred; all the parishes that used the same prior leet court were likely included in each instance.
