Packwood is a medieval settlement and old parish of 1760 acres in Warwickshire, England. In 1194 the ownership of Packwood estate was disputed between the Bishop of Coventry and the Prior of Coventry.
The small rural area includes the Grade I listed sixteenth century National Trust property Packwood House, the separate Packwood Hall (Grade II listed) and its adjacent church of St Giles.
St Giles Church
St Giles is a Grade II* listed church alongside Packwood Hall. The nave and chancel date from the thirteenth century and the tower around 1500. The north transept was added around 1704. The church contains memorials to the Featherston family of Packwood Hall. The tower was financed by Nicholas Brome, lord of the nearby Baddesley Clinton manor in atonement for killing the local priest who was attacking his wife.
