@@thetudortours4914 It would have been black over Pedro's madre's if you had filmed here! Seriously , loved it, and The Worcester Cathedral one. How about Tewkesbury? Not quite Tudor, but in the run up. History is like a spider's web; to understand this event you have to go back to that event and so on. You can't just cut off chunks! Otherwise you get the Yanks confused! Hahaha. Bless em! They all have Anne Boleyn as a something X granny, after all! Glad yo and me ay puddled! Lol
Very true. I was driving past the (Haunted) Station Hotel to the lights and saw what a shame it was that the old picture house was in a state too. Again, thanks for doing your videos, they are very professionally presented by your good self and well edited and as far as I'm concerned (Man with the attention span of a sparrow), always get me watching until the end. So, good engagement. Ever considered doing one for St John's Church in Halesowen? It's got nearly 1000 years of history behind it along with the lovely "White Friars" Tudor house opposite. Well done!
This video is so interesting. Many thanks for posting. I am descended from John Sutton (1400-1487) 1st Lord Dudley by his wife Elizabeth Berkeley. I visited the castle several years ago. It’s hard to imagine that I am related to the people that once lived there.😊
@@cowboyfunkk I didn’t know about the connection until I started researching my family tree. I used all the traditional records such as census returns, parish registers and probate records. This took me to John Barbour of Flashbrook Hall, Staffordshire who died in the 1500s. His wife was Margaret Wolseley, daughter of John Wolseley and Elizabeth Stanley. Her parents were George Stanley (a younger son of Sir Thomas Stanley of Elford, Staffs.) and Eleanor Sutton/Dudley and it was this lady who was the daughter of Lord Dudley. I used various sources such as Burke’s Landed Gentry/Peerage and the Herald’s Visitations for the county of Staffordshire. Sorry I seem to have rambled on😊
This is amazing thank you , Edward the 4th lord Dudley Sutton is my 13th great grandfather. I love finding out about family history . Thank you so much!
@@boozychicks nice to meet you also! Unfortunately it’ll end with me, as I’m the last Sutton male to carry the last name on the Sutton side of the family that I do know. 😢
@@bradleysutton528 aw just think how long your branch of the Sutton legacy has lasted 😍 hundreds of years , it’s so amazing 🥰 how old are you is you don’t mind me asking , I’m 42 xx
My maiden name is Dudley, and I have English roots. My dad told me that 7 ancestors left England and settled in New Jersey ( where I was born and raised) I'd love to go to England one day to see the Dudley castle.
My late husband and I took the kids to Dudley Zoo and the castle.....I got a little way up those steps had an attack of the 'CREEPS' and had to be led down again.....I have never forgotten it.I was in my 20s knew nothing of the history of the castle, I'd gone for the zoo.
Been up the spiral stairs through the passages in the walls. It was slighted after Cromwell attacked it with cannons from kates hill. There's a road called Cromwell cross where they fired the cannons. Like many of these buildings, they're loss was eventually caused by fire and neglect. Though The civil war didn't help either.
I guess we are all related because these people are on my family tree as well. How is this even possible? Sir Edward Dudley (Sutton) daughter Katherine married sir George gresley then down down down until I start seeing familiar family names.
Phil, just look wot yo started! Ay it funny that us folks who have bin theer fower centuries doh hev no Royal Connexions,but show a Yonk a castle and theyrm all relaeted to Henry VIIIth! Yo cor mek it up! But they con! Ta for the loff. Excellent video by the way
Wasn't there another Dudley who served Henry VII in some manner? Who when Henry VIII came to the throne had that Dudley thrown into the Tower for the crimes against the people. Because they so hated him for his cruelty towards them in Henry VII's name.

John Sutton was my 13th great grandfather. I’d absolutely love to visit this castle one day! Kind of hard to do though, considering I live in America. Lol
@@boozychicks No, I haven’t. Im about to go ahead and order the kit though, I’d like to see what all I can find out. I never expected to find all of this when mapping my family tree. Thankfully the Sutton’s were well documented though. There’s a book on the Sutton’s of North Carolina & England, that’s where I found a lot of the information on. I also used the app “ family tree “ and after putting in my great grandfather, it all filled itself in dating back to the 1400’s. That’s when I started learning about Dudley castle and all
@@bradleysutton528 it’s amazing isn’t it! I started searching and putting my tree together back in lockdown & have managed to go back to the 1300’s 🥰🥰 I used an app called family search tree it’s really good , and free too!! Xx
My hometown love the backcountry with all my ❤️.

Our family is too for John Sutton 1400 - 1487 and Matilda "Maud" de Clifford. Both were buried in St James Priory in Dudley. I'm from South Australia
Fantastic video - thoroughly enjoyed this. Aa a paranormal investigator myself, I'm looking forward to investigating here this weekend.
Great this is getting some coverage. I think its massively passed over by many.
Great video. Great knowledge from Amy.
My 17th Great Grandfather is John Dudley , would love to visit Dudley Castle one day :)
Same here! He's my 14th Great Grand. Would love to visit the castle as well. Would be awesome.
I'm from Dudley, did yo know, Birmingham Walsall, Wolverhampton people all payed there taxes to the lords at Dudley castle.
Absolutely fantastic video 👍
I have spent 5 years at the college down the hill, but I only visited the ruin once during my years in England.
Absolutely fantastic video... great work!!

I like that, actually I was at Dudley Castle and Zoo a week last friday, and managed to hobble all the way up those stairs to the tower.
My maiden name is Dudley, and I have English roots. My dad told me that 7 ancestors left England and settled in New Jersey ( where I was born and raised) I'd love to go to England one day to see the Dudley castle.
History is amazing!!
This was actually sick to watch
Great video.
Sad ghost story 👻.

Hi, do you mind if we link this video up to the Friends Of Dudley Castle website and facebook page?
Yes of course that is fine 🙂
