Packwood, England

Packwood is a medieval settlement and former civil parish of 1760 acres,[1] now in the counties of the West Midlands and Warwickshire, England.

[2] The small rural area includes the Grade I listed[3] sixteenth century National Trust property Packwood House, the separate Packwood Hall (Grade II listed)[4] and its adjacent church of St Giles.

St Giles is a Grade II* listed building[5] church alongside Packwood Hall.

[5] The tower was financed by Nicholas Brome, lord of the manor of nearby Baddesley Clinton, in atonement for killing the local priest who was attacking his wife.

[9][10] In 1974 Solihull became part of the larger Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the West Midlands county, whilst Lapworth became part of the Warwick District in Warwickshire; as such the area of the former parish of Packwood now straddles the two counties.
