The Hundred House of Aldwick served as a courthouse and center for local government, administering justice and governance for tithings across a wide area from the mid-14th Century until its disuse following governmental reforms in 1894. Its demolition around 1930 marked the end of an era of local administrative practices rooted in medieval English history.
