Dudley Castle in the West Midlands was originally built around 1071, when William the Conqueror was creating a ring of Castles around Staffordshire, Salop, Cheshire, and North Wales.
The keep was rebuilt again in the 13th Century, and this is the Castle keep you see today in ruins. It was square with a round tower on each corner.
During the middle of the 16th Century, the living areas were rebuilt as a Renaissance Palace (The Sharrington Range), by John Dudley, Lord of Dudley and Duke of Northumberland, the
most famous Earl/Lord at the Castle. He was later beheaded by the order of Queen Mary I for hatching the ill-fated plot to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne.
The Castle was a Royalist stronghold during the Civil War, but it surrendered in 1646 after a parliamentary siege. This was when the keep and the gatehouse were slighted or pulled down, so the Castle could no longer be used as a fortification.
The most well-known ghost of Dudley Castle is that of the Grey Lady, who is regularly seen walking the grounds of the castle by staff and visitors. There has also been an apparition of a little boy who is believed to be a drummer boy from from the civil war, many have also reported hearing the sound of drumming coming from within the castle grounds. The undercroft is also known for its spooky goings on and, and many people report being touched and grabbed by unseen hands.
