Roman Catholic boarding school in North Staffordshire, England. It is also known as Saint Wilfred's College. It was founded in 1763 by William Errington at Sedgley Park, Wolverhampton, at the recommendation of Bishop Richard Challoner. In 1873 it moved to Cotton Hall, a Georgian country house built by the Earl of Shrewsbury for his nephew. It was conducted for a while by the Oratorians, and then the Passionists, then finally the secular clergy of the archdiocese of Birgmingham. The school closed in 1987 due to financial difficulties, and the structure has fallen into a state of disrepair. Only Saint Wilfrid's church remains intact.
