The Annals of Willenhall
Transcribed from the 1908 Whitehead Bros. edition by David Price
"The Annals of Willenhall" by Frederick William Hackwood is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the history of Willenhall, a town in Staffordshire, England, exploring its origins, significant events, and historical evolution from Saxon times through the Reformation. The narrative likely includes accounts of the town’s battles and notable figures, providing insight into the local culture and community. The opening of the book begins by establishing the antiquity of Willenhall, suggesting its foundation can be traced back to an early Saxon settlement. It discusses the origin of the name "Willenhall," with various interpretations arising from linguistic research, and sets a historical context that will be developed in subsequent chapters. The first chapter hints at a rich tapestry of local history intertwined with significant events, such as the Battle of Wednesfield and the influences of notable figures like Lady Wulfruna. Overall, the beginning introduces readers to the town's historical landscape, inviting them to explore its legacy in detail. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
