Munslow (hundred)

Hundreds in England had various judicial, fiscal and other local government functions, their importance gradually declining from the end of manorialism to the latter part of the 19th century.The hundred reached from All Stretton to the north, down the valleys of the rivers Onny, Corve and Teme, to the Herefordshire border south and west of Ludlow.It is believed that by the 12th century the caput for both hundreds was moved to Aston, 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest from Corfham Castle on the other side of the River Corve.The move to Munslow hundred was relatively short-lived for many places, with the growth of the franchise (or liberty) of Wenlock[5] beginning in the 1189-1199 reign of Richard I — see the section in the Patton article.The Act established a new system of local government within the counties, consisting of civil parishes and districts, both with elected councils.
