==History== ===Medieval=== The Domesday Book of 1086 records the parish in the hundred of Culvestan. The book records that at the time the manor of Culmington was held by Earl Roger of Shrewsbury and valued at £6. The area was entrusted to the Earl by his cousin, King William. 12 villagers were recorded in the parish, with a total of 4 slaves. Before the control of the Earl, the area of Culmington and much of the Shropshire county belonged to Edric the Wild. He is reputed to have held the Welsh border with a heavy hand. The Domesday Book records the name as "Comintone". The Saxon border thegn, Edric the Wild, held the areas of Sireton, Comitome and Elsich. Known today as Serifton, Culmington and Elsich respectively. The Saxon hundred of Culvestan was replaced in the reign of Henry I by the hundred of Munslow, of which Culmington was made a part.
