Description: | Dudley was born in 1890 and he lived at 92 Salop Street, Bilston with his parents and brother and sisters. His father, Mesach, was an iron worker employed at Bowen's Ironworks and his mother, Mary, was a coal-dealer's daughter from Ettingshall. From an early age Dudley developed a love of art and he was encouraged by his art teacher to study at the Royal College of Art. It would have been a sacrifice for his parents to send him there and they must have recognised their son's talent. During the First World War Dudley worked for the Intelligence Corps in France drawing maps . After the war he taught art, first at Cheltenham School of Art and then in Newport. He and his wife Frances enjoyed travelling and they visited Polperro every year, where Dudley painted local scenes. From 1922-1940 he exhibited 16 works at the prestigious Royal Academy.
