Transcription

Name

The name may derive from hamor (Old English: a hammer) and wīc (Old English: a place of industry, specialist agriculture or trading), indicating a smithy or metal-working site.[3]

Charcoal burning, nail making, agriculture and coal mining have all been prevalent in the village over the years.

Culture

Amenities in the village at present include a community centre, a Women's Institute hall and St John the Baptist Church. There are also numerous green lanes, footpaths and streams in the surrounding countryside.

Anglo-Saxon archaeology

In July 2009, the Staffordshire Hoard, a collection of over 3,500 items of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork, was found in a field 0.7 miles (1.1 km) south west of the village [4]
