Wolverton history
Old Wolverton
Wolverton was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wluerintone. The town name is an Old English language word, and means ‘Wulfhere’s estate’ The medieval village of Wolverton is all but gone, with only the earth mound remains of the Norman castle.
Canal village
The Grand Union Canal passes around the northern and eastern edge of the modern town. The canal originally crossed the River Great Ouse by descending 10 metres to the river by nine locks. This was time consuming for navigators and subject to disruption in time of flood.
Railway town
Wolverton was established as the site of the locomotive repair shop at the midpoint of the London and Birmingham Railway. During the Second World War, the Works built parts for Lee–Enfield rifles, bomber plane timber frames, Hawker Typhoon wings, Horsa Gliders, and ambulances.
Listed buildings
Wolverton and Greenleys civil parish has two scheduled monuments, two ‘grade II*’ listed buildings, and there are a further 38 Grade II listed buildings or objects in the parish.
