William Sebright
William Sebright was born in Wolverley in 1541.
He became a wealthy man, and when he died his will confirmed 'his intention of giving funds for the poor of Wolverley and other parishes'.
​
It is this money from William Sebright’s Estate that, invested over years, has resulted in grants still being available today, for students and vocational apprentices, that live within the 'areas of benefit'.
