Hammerwich is a small village and civil parish in the district of Lichfield, Staffordshire, lying a few miles east of the cathedral city and close to the towns of Burntwood and Brownhills. Its name and local fabric reflect a historic connection to metalworking and small‑scale mining and clay industries, and you can still find older cottages and a parish church that hint at that industrial past.
Perched near the edge of Cannock Chase, the village offers easy access to heathland and woodland popular with walkers and cyclists. Today Hammerwich is largely residential and agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Birmingham and Walsall, while retaining a village community feel through local events and clubs.
