Hammerwich is a small, rural parish in the district of Lichfield, Staffordshire, England, lying a few miles south‑east of the cathedral city and close to the former mining towns of Burntwood and Brownhills. Set near the wooded expanses of Cannock Chase, it keeps a village character of cottages, farms and a historic parish church, with several older buildings that hint at its long local heritage.
Historically the area was shaped by small‑scale industry - coal, ironworking and nailmaking played a part - but today it is largely residential and agricultural, with many people commuting into the wider West Midlands. Community life is quiet and parish‑centred, with easy access to countryside recreation on the Chase and the surrounding green belt.
