Wilferth was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield.
Wilferth was consecrated between 889 and 900 and died between 909 and 915.[1]
There is some confusion between Wilferth and another bishop, Wigmund. The surviving charters do not explicitly specify which was bishop of where. There is therefore also a possibility that it was Wigmund who was bishop of Lichfield, and Wilferth bishop of Dorchester.
