Coven is a semi-rural village in the civil parish of Brewood and Coven, within the district of South Staffordshire in the county of Staffordshire, England. It sits close to the edge of the West Midlands conurbation, with Wolverhampton to the south, so the village combines easy commuter links with surrounding green countryside.
Historically agricultural, Coven saw 19th‑ and 20th‑century change through nearby mining and transport connections, then a later shift towards a largely residential character. Today it retains village amenities such as pubs, a primary school and community groups, and has a mix of long‑standing families and commuters who work in nearby towns and cities, giving it a quiet, local community feel while remaining within easy reach of urban facilities.
