It is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Dudley with its giant tower and spire visible from afar. And this year St Thomas’s Church, known locally as Top Church, marks its 190th anniversary.

St Thomas’s Church has stood on the same site since 1200 but in 1815 the building was demolished and rebuilding work started.

The church as everyone knows it today officially opened its doors for the first time on July 3, 1818.

Video journalist Wendy Lloyd went along to find out more.
