Hammerwich is a village and civil parish in Lichfield District, Staffordshire, England. It is situated to the south east of Burntwood. The name may derive from the Old English hamor (by a hill) and wic (place), or possibly, 'a smith's workshop' or 'a hammer-making workshop'. Charcoal burning, nail making, agriculture and coal mining have all been prevalent in the village over the years. Amenities in the village at present include a post office, community centre, a Women's Institute hall and a church called St.John the Baptist. There are also numerous green lanes, footpaths and streams in the surrounding countryside In July 2009 the Staffordshire Hoard, a large collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver was found 0.7 miles south west of the village in a field owned by Fred Johnson within the parish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Minutes of the 13 October 2009 Meeting of Lichfield District Council )〕 ==See also== *Staffordshire Hoard 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hammerwich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
