Weoley Castle
The ruins at Weoley Castle are over 700 years old and are the remains of the moated manor house that once stood here. The site has been inhabited from the 12th century and according to the Domesday Book, was part of the estate of William Fitz Ansculf. Weoley Castle changed hands several times between 1485 and 1531 when it began to fall into disrepair. In the centuries that followed, stone from the castle was removed to build a nearby farm and the Dudley no.2 canal.
