Wrottesley Hall is a 1923-built Grade II listed house in the civil parish of Perton, and historically part of Tettenhall in Staffordshire, England. The manor of Wrottesley had been held by the Wrottesley family (originally 'de Verdun') from the twelfth century, having been granted to Simon de Verdun of Cocton (Coughton, Warwickshire), son of William (de Verdun) of Cocton by Adam the Abbot of Evesham. The deed granting Wrottesley and Loynton in Staffordshire to Simon was witnessed by some of his kinsmen: Bertram de Verdun (III) of Alton Castle, Guy de Verdun and Roeland de Verdun. The deed is dated sometime between 1160 when Adam became Abbot and 1167 when Simon appears in the Pipe Roll for Staffordshire as lord of WrottesleyA moated Tudor house which stood on the site was demolished in 1686 and replaced by Sir Walter Wrottesley, 3rd Baronet to designs by Christopher Wren, as a four-storeyed 'H' plan mansion, comprising a pedimented central entrance block of three bays and flanking wings of four bays each, standing in a 2,000-acre (8.1 km2) park.The house was destroyed by fire in 1897 and was replaced with the present structure of more modest proportions in 1923, comprising a two-storey pedimented three bay central block and single storey four bay wings. The pediment carries the Wrottesley family arms. Exterior steps and ancillary buildings of the original pre-1897 hall are Grade II listed. During the Second World War the park was the base of the Free Dutch forces. The estate was broken up when the 5th Baron sold up in 1963 and moved to South Africa. The house was then purchased by the Hartill family in the 1960s, who developed the adjacent Grade II listed coach house into residential units. The Wrottesley Golf Course was founded in the 1970s, and still operates today.

Wightwick ( WIT-ik) is a part of Tettenhall Wightwick ward in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. It is named after an ancient local family the "de Wightwicks". It is on the western fringe of Wolverhampton and borders the rural South Staffordshire area that includes neighbourhoods such as Perton. Of note is Wightwick Manor, a Victorian era manor house in the arts and crafts style. The interior features extensive use of William Morris designs and is noted as one of his pioneering works. The house is the former home of the Mander family who achieved wealth through the ownership of Mander Brothers, paint and varnish manufacturers since 1773, and fame through public service and political office. Sir Geoffrey Le Mesurier Mander was the first of the Mander family to sit in the House of Commons. The house is now in the hands of the National Trust. The Mander family also owned the nearby 'Mount', seat of the Mander Baronets, which is now a hotel and conference centre with views as far as the Malvern hills, over 40 miles (64 km) away. Wightwick Hall is also in the area, being less than a mile via the lanes that connect the two properties. Sir Alfred Hickman owned Wightwick Hall. Nearby Elmsdale Hall was owned by the former Wolverhampton Mayor and industrialist Sir John Morris. Morris was spontaneously knighted by Queen Victoria in 1866 at her first public appearance since the death of her husband Albert, for the unveiling of a statue of her dead husband. The hall has been converted to residential apartments. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal and the Smestow Brook run through the valley beneath Wightwick Manor, roughly parallel to the 'Bridgnorth Road'. Wightwick is an extremely pleasant part of the more traditionally affluent western side of Wolverhampton.

Seisdon was a rural district in Staffordshire, England from 1894 to 1974. It lay to the west of Wolverhampton and was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Seisdon rural sanitary district.Villages in the district included Kinver, Wombourne, Codsall, Trysull and Pattingham, as well as Seisdon itself. In 1934, it was expanded to absorb western parts of Kingswinford Rural District, with the eastern, more urban areas of the district being absorbed into Brierley Hill Urban District. At the same time, a section of Penn was removed from Seisdon to be incorporated into the County Borough of Wolverhampton, and other parts of the district were absorbed into Tettenhall Urban District. In 1966, the village of Gospel End was transferred into Seisdon having previously been part of Sedgley Urban District. This reorganisation saw the Sedgley and Brierley Hill urban districts abolished, with most of their territory being incorporated into an enlarged County Borough of Dudley.It continued in existence until 1 April 1974, when it was merged with the southern part of Cannock Rural District to form the South Staffordshire district.

Penn Halt was the smallest of all stops on the Wombourne Branch Line. It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1925 and closed in 1932. The line was single track and the halt was a single platform. It suffered from poor patronage, as with all the stations on the branch. This may have been, in part, due to the somewhat strange positioning of the station by the GWR, several miles from the nearest settlement. All that remains is a lot of bushes and a sign stating where the halt once was. This is now part of the South Staffordshire Railway Walk which covers the trackbed from Tettenhall railway station to Gornal Halt railway station.
