West Bromwich is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. At the time Bromwich - the little village on the heath of broom - was among the possessions of William Fitz-Ansculf, Baron of Dudley. The original settlement was round All Saints Church, which still has Norman remains, while to the south was Bromwich Heath. For 600 years crops were grown locally, while local tradesmen and artisans supplied all the communitys needs.
