Canal side charm with a historic heart
Brewood is a rich tapestry of hospitality and natural beauty, where history isn’t just remembered, it’s lived.
From Roman roots to medieval markets, stately homes, and religious intrigue, Brewood’s story is written in the well-preserved buildings that frame its streets and the churches that dominate its skyline
At its centre, St Chad’s Church has stood for centuries, a quiet witness to changing times. Nearby, St Mary’s Catholic Church, designed by the renowned Augustus Welby Pugin, is a masterpiece of English Gothic architecture and houses the legendary weeping Our Lady of Brewood statue.
Brewood’s timeless streets showcase Georgian and Victorian architecture, welcoming shops, and historic storefronts. Quaint boutiques, galleries, cafes, traditional pubs, and a contemporary art gallery reflect Brewood’s timeless charm. The village has earned acclaim as the winner of the Staffordshire Community Spirit and Best Kept Large Village Awards.
Located just eight miles north of Wolverhampton and 11 miles south of Stafford, Brewood sits serenely near the River Penk and the Shropshire Union Canal, making it an accessible and peaceful rural escape. Enjoy peaceful walks along the canal path, or even a nostalgic horse-drawn boat trip.
Beyond the village, wander the splendid grounds of Chillington Hall, discover Weston Park’s formal gardens, or the peaceful countryside of Brewood Park Farm, a retreat tailored to walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers.
History lovers will be captivated by the haunting ruins of White Ladies Priory, whilst nearby Boscobel House holds a story woven into the nation’s identity of a fleeing king and a giant oak.
Whether you're touring Gothic churches, strolling ancient lanes, admiring Capability Brown gardens, or enjoying a canal-side pint, Brewood glows with indefinable village warmth.
