'''Staffordshire''', officially the '''County of Stafford''', is a county of western-central [[England]]. For statistical purposes, almost all of Staffordshire lies within the [[West Midlands (region)|West Midlands]] statistical region. Its [[population]], as of 2024 (Wikishire) is 2.16 million, and the county town is [[Stafford]]. Much of the industrial [[Black Country]], which includes the city of [[Wolverhampton]], lies in Staffordshire. Another major industrial area is that of [[The Potteries]], whose main settlements are [[Stoke-on-Trent]] (a city comprising 7 towns) and Newcastle-under-Lyme, famous for its pottery and ceramics manufacture. The remainder of the county is largely rural, and the east, extending into the [[Pennine]] foothills, is hilly. Major towns include Leek, Uttoxeter, and [[Burton upon Trent]]. The city of [[Lichfield]] is notable for its [[cathedral]], the only [[medieval]] English cathedral with three spires.
