Chasetown is a residential ward in the district of Lichfield, in Staffordshire, England, sitting on the southern fringe of Cannock Chase and close to Chasewater Country Park and the neighbouring town of Burntwood. It grew up in the 19th century as a coal‑mining community serving the Cannock Chase coalfield, and that industrial past still shapes the area’s terraces, street pattern and local memorials.
Today Chasetown feels like a largely residential, family‑oriented neighbourhood with small local shops, pubs and community groups; outdoor recreation around Chasewater is a big draw. Many residents commute to nearby Lichfield, Birmingham and other West Midlands towns, while a visible interest in local history and volunteer projects keeps the community connected to its mining heritage.
