Here are some of the many special characters
of Tettenhall - the vast majority of them real - from down the
ages.
If you can think of someone who deserves a place in Tettenhall’s
own local history - but currently missing from our list - please
e-mail us here with a brief resume and we’ll actively consider
your entry.
Thanks

“There
are not many survivors of (the old) days now, and their
ranks grow thinner. But trees they planted are with us
yet, still in spite of age bearing fine crops. We should
do well to remember their sturdy pace on the road, their
courage and endurance, skill and humour. They took little
and gave much.
Let’s be proud and careful of the
inheritance they left us.”
William Cartwright Remembers, from A Tettenhall History by Geoffrey Hancock
Teotta
So little is known about
the man who lent his name to Tettenhall’s very foundations. Teotta’s
halh (sic) or nook - or even sheltered place - gives us the
only genuine clue as to the village’s origins, initially very
close to the church at the foot of the Rock.
