In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Wrottesley like this:
WROTTESLEY, a prebend in Tettenhall-Regis parish, Stafford; 4½ miles WNW of Wolverhampton. It contains extensive vestiges of an ancient city, supposed to have been Roman; and it gives the title of Baron to the family of Wrottesley. Real property, £2,871. Pop., 285. W. House was built in the 17th century, and was the seat of Lord Wrottesley. The estate belonged anciently to Evesham abbey; and passed to the Wrottesleys, in the time of Henry II., in exchange for Moreton.
