Burntwood

Burntwood is a town near Lichfield in England formed from four former mining villages in the northeastern part of Cannock Chase. The area sits within a landscape of green spaces, parks, and woodlands that shape its character.

The settlement grew rapidly in the 19th century due to coal mining, which merged four rural villages into an urban community. This transformation shaped the area's economy and structure well into the 20th century.

The Burntwood Town Council consists of 22 elected members who represent and support the interests of local residents through regular community meetings.

The area is well served by public buses connecting it to nearby towns and cities. Visitors should expect flat terrain that is easy to walk through when exploring parks and green spaces.

Next to Christ Church stands Prince's Park, one of the smallest green spaces in the country. This tiny spot shows how communities preserve nature even in the most modest form.
