Wulfric of Haselbury was a 12th-century English anchorite and priest who lived in Somerset and Wiltshire. Born in Compton Martin, he initially pursued a life of hunting before turning to religious devotion following an encounter with a beggar. He eventually settled in Haselbury Plucknett, where he lived for nearly three decades in a small cell next to the church. Known as a miracle worker, he gained significant influence during the reigns of King Henry I and King Stephen, earning a reputation for prophecy and healing.
