These are some notes transcribed from "Sedgley Researches" (published in 1898) by Frederick William Hackwood - born 1851 in Wednesbury, Staffordshire, died 1926 in London.
The Court House although now used as a licensed public house, was originally built as the name implies as a Court, the house where the Lord of the Manor and tenants could meet, it was built by Lord Dudley. The last court case was held in 1925. It was also here that the meeting of the Boundaries Commission was held on the 13th April 1867 that Coseley became a separate urban district.
There was a yard close by, adjacent to the church where stray animals could be impounded by the local constable.
