MenuSedgley, Staffordshire
Sedgley is a town in Staffordshire, on the western edge of the Black Country. The earliest reference is to '“Secg's leah”' from a 985 charter from King Æthelred to Lady Wulfrun. The village had become industrialised by the 18th century, producing goods such as iron and brick. For local government purposes, from 1895-1966, the northern part of the ancient manor of Sedgley was the basis for the Sedgley urban district, during which time Sedgley expanded rapidly. Many older buildings survive, including Queen Victoria Primary School (1897), All Saints' Church (1805) and the early 19th century courthouse. The central part of Sedgely is called the Bull Ring because it was formerly the site of bull-baiting. The town is within the council area of Dudley.
