Priors Hardwick is a small village and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England. Tucked into rolling countryside, it comprises a compact cluster of traditional brick and stone cottages around a village green and parish church, with surrounding farmland popular for walking and quiet country living.
The village name hints at medieval ecclesiastical ownership - “Priors” indicating former church links and “Hardwick” a traditional farm name - and the settlement retains a strong sense of history through older buildings and local traditions. Economically it remains largely rural and agricultural, with a community life focused on occasional village events and the parish, while being within reasonable reach of larger market towns for services and commuting.
