FROM THE PREFACE: The annals of the Wolverhampton School have long been neglected. A school, with a history of over four hundred years, has hitherto been dismissed in a few uncertain paragraphs. Speech makers at prize distributions have reiterated the vague and timeworn facts of the school's past in pitiable destitution. The present volume, in being the work of an outsider, is an exception to the rule; but most people have something better to do than to spend their spare time and money in continuous historical research, and at the time when I turned my attention in this direction there seemed very small likelihood of anyone else bringing the matter to a close. I owe apologies to all Old Wulfrunians for taking from them the task which is undoubtedly theirs.
