Much Wenlock is a town and parish in Shropshire, England, situated on the A458 road in between Shrewsbury and also Bridgnorth.

The civil church consists of the towns of Homer (1 mile north of the community), Wyke (2 miles northeast), Atterley (2 miles southeast) and also Bourton (3 miles southwest). The population of the civil parish, according to the 2001 census, was 2,605, enhancing to 2,877 at the 2011 Census. Much Wenlock was traditionally the primary community of the ancient district of Wenlock. The "Much" was included in the name to differentiate it from the close-by Little Wenlock, and signifies that it is the bigger of both settlements. Notable historic tourist attractions in the community are Wenlock Priory as well as the Guildhall. The name Wenlock probably originates from the Celtic name Wininicas, indicating "white area" (of the sedimentary rock of Wenlock Edge), plus the Old English loca, implying "confined place". The community was recorded in the Domesday Book as Wenloch. The Wenlock Olympian Games established by Dr William Penny Brookes in 1850 are centred in the community. Dr Brookes is credited as a founding father of the modern-day Olympic Games, and one of the London 2012 Summer Olympics mascots; called Wenlock after the town.
