Chadwick End is a small village in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, situated 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the large village of Knowle and forming part of the border with Warwickshire.

The name Chadwick means 'farm near a spring', and the village remains a farming community, almost contiguous with the historic Warwickshire village of Baddesley Clinton only half-a-mile to the south.^{[citation needed]}

A mile from the village centre lies Chadwick Manor and its Estate, built in 1875 by the architect Edward Holmes (1832-1909). During the 1930s the Manor became a country house hotel and the estate a racing-stud both owned by the Stewart MacKay family. Upon the death in 1980 of champion racehorse owner and breeder Captain Norman "Norrie" Stewart MacKay (1895-1980), the estate was sold and the Manor converted to luxury flats.^{[citation needed]}

The former Poor Clares convent on Rising Lane was founded in 1850; it has been converted into private flats since its closure in 2011.^[1]
