Wigginton and Hopwas is a civil parish [2] in Lichfield District, Staffordshire, England. The villages of Comberford, Hopwas and Wigginton make up the parish. They are separated by the River Tame, the Coventry Canal and the West Coast Main Line. The parish also forms small stubs of the wider Tamworth urban area.

The civil parish is based on the old ecclesiastical parish of Wigginton; Hopwas had been part of the parish of Tamworth. [3] It contains several listed buildings, including churches at Wigginton and at Hopwas, farms and houses, and even a listed milepost in Hopwas. [4]
