Church of St. Edmund, Dudley, Grade II* listed Anglican parish church in Dudley, England.
St. Edmund's is an Anglican parish church featuring red brick walls with stone details, organized with a nave, two aisles, a chancel, a south porch, and a crenellated west tower. The building displays Palladian proportions and design principles throughout its layout and elevation.
The current building was completed in 1724, replacing an earlier church that was destroyed in 1646 during the English Civil War. This reconstruction represented the community's recovery and renewal following a period of conflict and destruction.
Local people refer to this church as the "Bottom Church" to distinguish it from St. Thomas's, known as the "Top Church," based on their positions in the town. These everyday names reflect how the community identifies and talks about its two main places of worship.
The church sits in a central location within Dudley and is accessible from the main roads through town. Visitors can typically enter during daytime hours and service times, with staff on hand to answer questions about the building.
A school building originally attached to the church was closed in 1970 and later became the Dudley Central Mosque starting in 1978. This conversion shows how older community buildings have been repurposed to serve the changing needs of local residents.
