Sedgley Hall, Staffordshire..help needed please!
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 12:47 BST (UK) »
I have spent hours and hours searching the internet for information about Sedgley Hall, which was the home of our ancestors, the Jevon family in the 1600s. I am not having much luck! I've been told that the hall was demolished in the 1960s, to build a housing estate, which goes by the same name... is that right? I would love to find a picture or photograph of the hall, but again, can't find one anywhere.
Any information or ideas would be great. Thanks for reading this.

Have you seen this website?

http://www.sedgleymanor.com/index.html

It might not provide the answer but there are some contacts there who may be able to help.  Also a couple of Jevon researchers.

Hiya Mew46

Your best bet is to contact Sedgley Archives

01384 812770

or another alternative if they cant help is the Black Country Bugle http://www.blackcountrybugle.co.uk/blackcountrybugle/

There is a copy of Sedgley Hall Farm sale catalogue on this site which might be interesting http://www.sedgleymanor.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4&page=2

Had a quick look in the Birmingham A-Z and there's a park in Sedgley called Sedgeley Hall Park so I'm guessing that there's a connection to Sedgely Hall there. I think Sedgely now comes under Dudley Council so you could try Dudley Archives for this one as well. (See my answer to your query about Russell's Hall.)

Hi Mew, Sedgley Hall Park is next to the Northway housing estate which is now privately owned houses built between late 1950's and mid 1970's.  You say the Hall was demolished in the 1960's, this ties in with when the houses were being built so this could be where the Hall was.

Theres a sketch map of the park and some recent pics here:

Hope this helps a bit

Hi Mew, I may have found what you are looking for.  There is a book called Britain in Old Photographs: Sedgley, Coseley and the Gornals, Author is Trevor Genge and it's published by Sutton Publishing Ltd.  This book is said to contain one photo entitled Sedgley Hall and another Sedgley Hall Site.  It's available to buy on amazon for £15, here's the link http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0750926732/rowleyregison-21.  You may be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.

I found this information searching here http://www.blackcountryhistory.org.uk/default.aspx.  You have to wade through a lot of other stuff on here but if you want to have a look the quickest way to get to this is click on advanced search, tick Dudley box, then type Gornals in title box, you should only get 4 results.  Click on the record and it lists all photos in the book.  There's a link in FAQ to the Dudley Archives where you can view this record.

Hope you find what you want  Cheesy
