Trescott lies within the broader Wolverhampton area and is situated in the postal district WV 6. The locality is part of the historical Seisdon Hundred, an administrative division that once defined the boundary of Seisdon and Cuttleston and included Wolverhampton, the largest town in the county, along with many populous villages. The Seisdon Hundred’s history is closely linked to the development of Wolverhampton, with the town’s growth tied to the influence of St Peter’s Collegiate Church. The church, located in central Wolverhampton, served as a chapel royal and later a royal peculiar from 1480, independent of the Diocese of Lichfield and even the Province of Canterbury. Its prominence made it central to the town’s development, and the college’s control extended far into the surrounding area, with dependent chapels in several towns and villages of southern Staffordshire. The historic association with the collegiate church highlights the area’s long-standing cultural and architectural heritage, offering a sense of continuity and community rooted in medieval history.
