Tettenhall
Tettenhall (pronounced "Tettnull" by locals) is a village in England within the the global Wolverhampton area (and jurisdiction, since 1966) in the West Midlands. We lived there in Cornwall Road in the period from 26 September (2022) till 15 December (2023). Both Julia and Luz attended the Tettenhall college.
The name itself seems to derive from "Teotta's Halh", the identity of Teotta being unclear. It was on the famous London-Holyhead road. It was the place of a decisive (for the Anglo-Saxon) battle of Tettenhall against the vikings, it has its own breed of pears (the "Tettenhall Dick") and is one of the few places in England to have two village greens (the Upper and the Lower Greens).
St Michael and All Angels.
Cottages on Church's street.
The lower green. On the other side is the, also pretty, Tettenhall Road.
