His penitential regime included rigorous fasting with prostration's, the wearing of chainmail and frequent immersion in cold water. The gift of prophecy and second sight further increased his reputation for holiness. Among the visitors to his cell, in which he was permanently enclosed, included Kings Henry l and Stephen. In 1130 Henry and Queen Adela obtained from him the healing of the knight Drago de Munci from paralysis. In 1133 Wulfric prophesied the death of the king which took place in 1135. Stephen visited him with his brother Henry of Blois, bishop of Winchester; when Wulfric greeted him as king even before his disputed assession.
Wulfric continued working at copying books and making other articles for the service of the church. He persevered in his chosen calling until his death. His feast day is the 20th February.
