The NHS has experienced a great number of challenges in recent years, with a marked increase in demand on services and challenging financial circumstances. Against this challenging backdrop, the Dudley Group has responded well, continuing to offer innovative services and deliver effective care for patients. I have been particularly struck by the commitment, dedication and warmth of our staff, both in the community and our hospitals. This is a place where people matter and our staff are committed to our aim of ensuring that everyone receives high quality, safe and appropriate care. Notwithstanding our CQC rating of Requires Improvement, Dudley is an award-winning Trust and is seen by many as one of the leading Trusts in the country. The CQC are currently undertaking their planned review of the Trust where we have had an opportunity to demonstrate the excellent work achieved at Dudley. We are a key player in the local health and social care economy – working closely with a number of partner organisations to develop services for patients. We also maintain a leading role in the arrangements for multi-specialty community provision of services, maintaining a strong vision to enable patients with long-term conditions to manage their care at home rather than in hospital.

  • Skidmore and Skidsmore Families of Rural Warwickshire 1550-1915
    Skidmore & Skidsmore Families of rural Warwickshire, 2nd ed.2017. Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study SKIDMORE AND SKIDSMORE FAMILIES OF RURAL WARWICKSHIRE 1550-1915 Minor amendments were by Linda Moffatt © last made to this account 2nd edition 2017 by Linda Moffatt on 26 May 2017. Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com [email protected] Preface to the first edition 2012 It has been my privilege to add to the account by Warren Skidmore of the first 150 years of this family in Warwickshire, from its probable origins in Siddington Langley, Gloucestershire in the early 16th century (a family itself out of the ancient family at Holme Lacy, Herefordshire). He lends to the history of this family, as to others, his considerable knowledge and experience of interpreting records of the 12th-16th centuries and applying them to family history. Over many years' work he has tried, and in large succeeded, in tracking the movement of individuals before 1650 out of Herefordshire and Somerset to other parts of Britain and to the US. Warren Skidmore's work on this branch of the wider Skidmore/Scudamore family can be found on the website www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com as an occasional paper with the title The Skydmores in the Environs of Stratford- On-Avon, Warks. Much of Generations 1-5 below are based heavily on this paper. For my part, I have taken the story from the 18th into the early 20th century. I have not included any detail beyond 1920 to preserve the privacy of living descendants. If you would like to include your 20th century family in this account, please contact me via [email protected] (LM).

    Crosswords Local history Pictures from the past And more! We hope you enjoy our buster! With love Broadway Halls Care Home The Broadway Dudley DY1 3EA History of Dudley Dudley began as a Saxon village. It was originally called Dudda's leah. The Saxon word leah meant a clearing in a forest. Dudley later became known as the capital of the Black Country. In the 11th century a castle was built at Dudley. At first it was made of wood but in the 12th century it was rebuilt in stone. In 1647 after the civil war between king and parliament Dudley castle was 'slighted' or damaged to prevent it ever being used by the royalists. A fire damaged the remains of Dudley Castle in 1750. In the Middle Ages Dudley also had a priory or small monastery nearby. Dudley was changed from a village to a town in the 13th century when the Lord of the Manor started a market there. In the middle Ages there were very few shops and anyone who wished to buy or sell anything had to go to a market. Dudley soon grew into a flourishing little community. In the middle Ages the area was already known for its coal mines. By the 16th century Dudley was known for nail making. In 1562 a grammar school was founded in Dudley. In 1685 Dudley was granted the right to hold 2 annual fairs. (Fairs were like markets but tended to specialize in one commodity like horses. People would come from all over the West Midlands to buy and sell at Dudley fair).
