Patton was a hundred of Shropshire, England. Formed during Anglo-Saxon England, it encompassed manors in eastern central Shropshire, and was amalgamated during the reign of Henry I (1100 to 1135) with the neighbouring hundred of Culvestan to form the Munslow hundred.
It included the upper Corvedale and the well-populated manors of Wenlock, Stoke and Ditton. The original folkmoot place, which gave its name to the hundred, was Patton,[1] a manor recorded as being part of the hundred in the 1086 Domesday Book.
Patton is written in the Domesday Book variously as Patinton(e) or Patintun(e).
