EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Lady Wulfrun statue and St Peters Church, nestled in the heart of Wolverhampton, West Midlands. The city itself owes its name to Lady Wulfruna, a remarkable Saxon noblewoman who established this town back in 985. Her legacy lives on through the magnificent monastery she founded in 994, now embodied by the awe-inspiring St Peters Church dating back to 1425. In this image, we are treated to a sight that beautifully combines history and artistry. Standing proudly before the church is the striking statue of Lady Wulfruna herself, positioned slightly right of center. This commemorative sculpture pays homage to her significant role as both founder and benefactor. The architectural marvels surrounding her add further allure to this scene. The Gothic-inspired design of St Peters Church transports us back centuries into England's medieval era with its intricate details and stunning stained glass windows. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Peter Thompson (PTM), we cannot help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only religious devotion but also celebrates women's contributions throughout history. It serves as a reminder of Lady Wulfruna's indelible mark on Wolverhampton while inviting us to explore our rich cultural heritage within these ancient walls.
