Wychnor

Wychnor is a village and civil parish in the Lichfield district of Staffordshire, England. It lies on the River Tame, near Alrewas and the A38 road.

The name "Wychnor" is believed to derive from the Old English "wice-ofer," meaning "wych elm ridge."

Historically, Wychnor was associated with the Wychnor family, who held the manor for several centuries. The tradition of the Wychnor Flitch, a side of bacon awarded to couples who could swear they had lived together happily for a year and a day, originated in Wychnor and is mentioned in Chaucer's The Wife of Bath's Tale. The Wychnor Flitch custom is no longer practiced in Wychnor itself, though similar traditions exist elsewhere.

Wychnor Park, a country house estate, is located near the village.

The parish church of St. Leonard is a Grade II listed building.
