The town had a population of 26,049 at the time of the 2011 census and forms part of Lichfield district. The town forms one of the largest urbanised parishes[2] in England. Samuel Johnson opened an academy in nearby Edial in 1736. The town is home to the smallest park in the UK, Prince's Park, which is located next to Christ Church on the junction of Farewell Lane and Church Road. The town expanded in the nineteenth century around the coal mining industry. Areas of Burntwood are Boney Hay, Chase Terrace, Chasetown, Gorstey Lea and Burntwood Green. Nearby places are Brownhills, Cannock, Cannock Wood, Norton Canes, Gentleshaw, Hammerwich and Lichfield. In September 2009 it was announced that a Burntwood man, Terry Herbert, had discovered a hoard of Saxon treasure with a metal detector in a field in the adjoining village of Hammerwich.[3] Known as the Staffordshire Hoard, it is the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold yet found. TransportBurntwood along with Chasetown has very good bus connections to places like Walsall and Brownhills which is operated by National Express West Midlands bus route no.10A (Previously no.10 until 2018 route change) as well as Cannock, Rugeley and Lichfield. Burntwood has never had a passenger or mainline railway connection that passed by the town apart from the mineral line to Chasewater collieries but it does have the Chasewater Railway nearby with stops at Chasetown (Church Street) and Chasewater Heaths. The local and nearest railway station on the mainline was the station at the small village of Hammerwich on the now mothballed South Staffordshire Line which was over 2 miles from the town.
