The statue of William Ward, 1st Earl of Dudley stands in Dudley town centre, below the ancestral home of the old castle. It has been moved very slightly from it's original position due to road alterations some years ago. The statue was carved by C.B.Birch and was unveiled by the earl's widow, Countess Georgina, in 1888.

Badges and Buttons

Ruth Butler has a small collection of coat buttons from domestic servants uniform and a cap badge from an item of military uniform of the Worcestershire Yeomanry. These artifacts display the Earl of Dudley's crest and motto.
