Description

The Wulfruna Memorial is a Grade II listed memorial located on Gorsebrook Road in Wolverhampton, dated 1901. It is constructed of ashlar and features a small gabled structure with the gable facing forward. A plaque on the front pedimental gable bears the inscription: "IN/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ THE LADY WULFRUNA/ AD 994/ STAVELY HILL P.G.,K.G./ AD 1901." This memorial commemorates the site of Wulfruna's well. Lady Wulfruna is recognized for endowing the Collegiate church of Wolverhampton with a Dean and Prebendaries in 994 AD, which led to her name being associated with the town, referred to as Wulfrun's Heantun (High town).
