1161-1852 Hemlingford Hundred

Hemlingford was one of the four hundreds that the English county of Warwickshire was divided into, along with Kington, Knightlow and Barlichway. It was recorded in the Domesday Book under the name of Coleshill and was first called by its present name of Hemlingford Hundred in the Pipe Roll of 8 Henry II (1161–2).

The hundred covered northern Warwickshire, including Birmingham, Solihull and Tamworth.

It was itself sub-divided into four subdivisions, those of Atherstone, Birmingham, Solihull and Tamworth.
