Enville is a small village and civil parish in South Staffordshire, England, close to the border with Shropshire and between Stourbridge and Bridgnorth. The settlement is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Efnefeld, although the surrounding area has a much older history. Enville remains a distinctly rural place, with only around 100 houses in the village itself and countryside, woodland and farmland surrounding it. Its main historic landmark is St Mary’s Church, which retains a Norman nave dating from around 1100, while nearby Enville Hall developed from a 16th-century house into a substantial country estate surrounded by landscaped parkland created largely during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Staffordshire Way passes through the estate and village, continuing towards nearby Kinver Edge. Enville is also known locally for the Enville Brewery, established in the village in the 1990s and particularly associated with traditional English ales. Stourbridge is the nearest larger town, while Birmingham lies roughly 30 kilometres to the east.
