How the Friends of Dudley Castle began
It was on the evening of Thursday 20th July 1989 that a group of people with a common interest in Dudley Castle met in the grounds of the Castle for the first time to set up the organisation which is now known as The Friends of Dudley Castle. Since then the Friends have always been committed to support and promote the Castle in every way possible, locally, nationally and internationally as a major treasure of British Heritage.
We hope that this website will enable you to share our interests and enthusiasm for this scheduled ancient monument that has dominated the skyline of Dudley for the last 900 years.
Our Mission Statement
The Friends of Dudley Castle believe Dudley Castle and its site to be of national geological, archaelogical, historical and architectural importance with considerable educational value.
We are committed to support and promote it in every way possible locally, nationally and internationally as a major treasure of British Heritage.
