About

The Mease Valley ward encompasses a largely rural area on the eastern fringes of Lichfield, characterised by open farmland, small settlements, and the course of the River Mease itself. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields and hedgerows, with the villages of Edingale, Harlaston, and Whittington forming the primary residential centres. The ward's boundaries extend to include the hamlet of Croxall and the surrounding countryside, maintaining a distinct separation from the more urbanised core of the city.

This area is part of a designated conservation zone, the Mease Valley, noted for its ecological value. The river is a habitat for native wildlife, including white-clawed crayfish and otters, influencing local land management practices. The ward's character is defined by its working farms, historic parish churches, and network of quiet country lanes, offering a contrast to the nearby cathedral city.
