Rushall Hall in south Staffordshire — near Walsall — was one of many fortified houses in the West Midlands contested during the Civil War. The area between Birmingham (which was largely Parliamentary in sympathy) and the Royalist heartland to the west and north was an active zone of raiding and garrison warfare. Parliamentary capture of Rushall helped consolidate control of the West Midlands corridor.
