Rudge is a settlement and civil parish about 6 miles east of Bridgnorth, in the Shropshire district, in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. In 2001 the parish had a population of 98. [1] The parish touches those of Claverley and Worfield within Shropshire and Pattingham and Patshull and Trysull and Seisdon in Staffordshire. [2] Rudge shares a parish council with Worfield. [3]
There are 4 listed buildings in Rudge. [4] Rudge Hall, with a medieval core, was a seat of the Talbot and Wright-Boycott families. The estate was purchased in 1921 by William Wilson, a Wolverhampton brewer, and reconstructed with an elegant neo-Queen Anne facade in the 1930s to the designs of James A. Swann, in brick with stone dressings, sash windows and a loggia. [5] [6] An 18th-century cattle pound is nearby.
The name "Rudge" means 'ridge'. [7]
Rudge was recorded in the Domesday Book as Rigge. [8] Rudge was formerly a township in the parish of Pattingham [9] until in 1866 Rudge became a civil parish in its own right. On 1 April 1967 17 acres was transferred to Claverley parish. [10]
