In 985 AD King Ethelred granted land around here to the Lady Wulfrun. Who in turn granted extensive lands to the monastery at Heantune in 994. She wanted to create a minster church with a college of priests who would go out and preach the gospel to people in outlying districts. Soon her name was combined with the original name to become Wulfrenchamplonia and a short time later to Wolverhampton. On the steps you can see an except from the second charter in which Lady Wulfrun grants land to the monastery.
