A short history of Cradley Heath
The name Cradley has Saxon origins and probably means Crudda's clearing. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists the settlement as Cradelei or Cradelie, with Ansculf de Picquigny holding it on behalf of the crown.

The Corngreaves iron and steel works ran from 1825 to 1894. Chainmaking and nailmaking grew from around 1830 and the Baptist church formed in December 1833. The Workers' Institute opened in 1912. Nine listed buildings stand near the centre, the highest graded being Corngreaves Hall at Grade II*.
