==History== Wolviston can be traced back to before the [[Norman Conquest]] (1066), with name changes that appear to be related to Saxon times. In the 11th century it was known as Olverstona, in the 16th as Wulston and as Woulston in the late 17th century. In 1577 Wolviston became a separate parish. There have been two churches in the village. The first, from the 12th century and dedicated to St Mary Magdelene, fell into disrepair in the 16th century but was restored in 1716. In 1876 a new church dedicated to St Peter was built behind the High Street and the old church was demolished in 1878. The new building was renovated in 1969β1972.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wolvistonboys.org.uk/wolviston%20history.htm.htm|title=A Brief History of Wolviston Village|author=Fellowes, P.|publisher=The Wolviston Boys|access-date=1 March 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ctlhs.co.uk/golden-jubilee/fifty-interesting-places/wolviston/|title=Wolviston|date=28 September 2018 |publisher=Cleveland / Teesside Local History Society|access-date=1 March 2020 }}</ref>
