About

Stowe ward lies on the eastern side of Lichfield, bordered by the A51 and encompassing the residential areas around Stowe Drive and Eastern Avenue. The landscape includes the open greenery of Stowe Fields and the historic Stowe Pool, a large reservoir. The residential streets are primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of local shops and schools serving the community.

The area is defined by its proximity to Lichfield's historic centre, with the spires of the cathedral visible from many points. A notable local feature is the Grade II listed former Stowe House, now part of a school. The ward functions largely as a residential suburb, with direct pedestrian and road links into the city, balancing green spaces with urban convenience.
