Frances Middlemore Wolfreston (1607–1677) was a member of the minor gentry who spent her life in the West Midlands near Birmingham and Tamworth and assembled one of the largest libraries owned by a seventeenth-century Englishwoman. As of 2021, over 230 books from her library survive in institutions around the world. In 2010, bookseller Christopher Edwards discovered a bound volume of almanacs, the first eleven of which were from the Poor Robin series and annotated by Wolfreston. This volume is now at the Bodleian Library. Wolfreston’s annotations consist of an extensive record of births, marriages, and deaths in her family and community, and contain a booklist of nine plays she lent to a male cousin in 1669, as well as notes about dog breeding, moneylending, estate management, and her youngest son’s trips to Cambridge. They also document a relationship between the Wolferstan family and the poet and playwright Aston Cokayne (1608–1684) (Wolferstan is the present-day spelling of the name). They are the only surviving life writing by Wolfreston and preserve the experiences of her final decade in her own words. Furthermore, by providing context about her relationships with Cokayne, her cousin Robert Comberford, her friend Master Delves, and her youngest son Stanford, they contribute to our knowledge about the role of books in early modern women’s lives.
