The Lady Wulfrun of Mercia founded the town of Wolverhampton, named after her, (985) and its church (994). Admittedly the link with me requires a few educated guesses around the year 1000, and I haven't counted the generations, but she was an impressive person. Before I retired as Rector of Norton, we lived near a road on the outskirts of Sheffield called Bunting Nook, which was named after some of my father's ancestors. Now we live near King Ecgbert Road, named after an ancestor who was King of Wessex, and swore a treaty with the King of Northumbria nearby.
