Priors Hardwick is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, in central England. Set among rolling farmland and hedgerows, it keeps a quiet, dispersed character with traditional brick and stone cottages and lanes rather than a concentrated high street.
The "Priors" element of the name records medieval ownership by a religious house, and the village still shows traces of its agricultural past in field patterns and historic farm buildings. Economically it remains largely linked to farming, though many residents commute to nearby market towns; locally life centres on the parish church, village hall and occasional community events that sustain a small, close‑knit population.
