G B Thorneycroft, the colonel's father, was the company founder who also became Wolverhampton's first mayor in 1848. But it was his son, the buyer of Tettenhall Towers, who became arguably one of the village's most eccentrically famous residents.
The Colonel was variously described as a man whose fertile imagination, individual point of view, broad and ready wit and energetic language meant that he would not readily be forgotten.
Tettenhall Towers, now part of Tettenhall College, is situated in Mount Road Tettenhall. The Towers dates back to the early part of the eighteenth century when a General Thomas Pearson, a returning Indian nabab bought land in Tettenhall at the site of the Holly Bush Inn.
