Priory Hall

Priory Hall stands in Priory Park with Tudor-style architecture featuring corner turrets and battlements built from local limestone in 1825. The Grade II listed building now houses Dudley's register office.

Following the dissolution of Dudley Priory, John Ward, First Earl of Dudley, built the hall as a residence on cleared industrial land northwest of the ruins. The structure emerged from the transformation of land once occupied by the monastery.

The hall serves as Dudley's register office and hosts official ceremonies for residents marking important life events. It functions as a civic space where local families gather for weddings and other formal occasions.

The location is accessed through Priory Park, which offers a pleasant approach to the building. Visitors should note that access may be restricted due to its function as a register office.

The original driveway passes through medieval priory ruins, creating a direct link between the modern hall and its monastic predecessor. This connection tells the story of how the site transformed across centuries.
