Project:- Penn Common. A series of reconstructions showing how the common has changed through time. Highlighting the Medieval, Victorian & WWII periods

Penn Common is a substantial area of countryside which juts into the urban area between Penn, Wolverhampton and Sedgley (part of Dudley). An important amenity for local people, it is occupied by a golf course and farmland. It is overlooked from the east by St Bartholomew’s church, descends to a hamlet centred on the old Lloyd’s brewery, and rises again to the village of Gospel End. Most of its area falls within South Staffordshire.
