Wulfstan also administered the diocese of Lichfield when it was vacant between 10. This right to exclude the sheriff was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086.

After the Norman Conquest, he claimed that the Oswaldslow, a ' triple hundred' administered by the bishops of Worcester, was free of interference by the local sheriff. Wulfstan founded the Great Malvern Priory, and undertook much large-scale rebuilding work, including Worcester Cathedral, Hereford Cathedral, Tewkesbury Abbey, and many other churches in the Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester areas. In 1075, Wulfstan and the Worcestershire fyrd militia countered the Revolt of the Earls, when various magnates attempted a rebellion against William the Conqueror. In 1072 Wulfstan signed the Accord of Winchester. William noted that pastoral care of his diocese was Wulfstan's principal interest. ДЄfter the Norman conquest of England, Wulfstan was the only English-born bishop to retain his diocese for any significant time after the Conquest (all others had been replaced or succeeded by Normans by 1075). He was a strong opponent of the slave trade, and together with Lanfranc, was mainly responsible for ending the trade from Bristol.

ДЄ social reformer, Wulfstan struggled to bridge the gap between the old and new regimes, and to alleviate the suffering of the poor. Wulfstan was a confidant of Harold Godwinson, who helped secure the bishopric for him. He made no profession of obedience to Ealdred, instead offering a profession of obedience to Stigand's successor Lanfranc. Wulfstan still acknowledged that the see of Worcester was a suffragan of Canterbury. Wulfstan had deliberately avoided consecration by the current archbishop of Canterbury, Stigand, since Stigand's own consecration had been uncanonical. It would have been more proper for him to have been consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose province Worcester was in. Wulfstan was consecrated Bishop of Worcester on 8 September 1062, by Ealdred. In addition, Ealdred continued to hold a number of the manors of the diocese. When Ealdred, the bishop of Worcester as well as the Archbishop of York, was required to relinquish Worcester by Pope Nicholas, Ealdred decided to have Wulfstan appointed to Worcester. Wulfstan served as treasurer and prior of Worcester, and from 1034 onwards served as the parish priest of Hawkesbury, Gloucestershire. Wulfstan was ordained shortly thereafter, in 1038, and soon joined a monastery of Benedictines at Worcester. During this time, his superiors, noting his reputation for dedication and chastity, urged him to join the priesthood. Through his uncle's influence, he studied at monasteries in Evesham and Peterborough, before becoming a clerk at Worcester. He was probably named after his uncle, Wulfstan II, Archbishop of York. His family lost their lands around the time King Cnut of England came to the throne. Wulfstan was born about 1008 at Long Itchington in the English county of Warwickshire.
