	Two Churches
		For almost 500 years the term Wigston Two Steeples’ has been a filling description of Wigston Magna and many people have wondered why it is that the village always had two churches, All Saints and St Wistan's, in one parish.
		Archeological evidence shows that the early settlement of Wigston dates back at least to the sixth century, and that the pagan village was Christianized in AD 653.
		In late medieval times the shrine was the centre of an annual pilgrimage held on the anniversary of St Wistan’s murder, the 1st of June, when the whole village took part in the celebrations and worship of a jewelled figure of the saint in the north aisle of the chapel.

	FREER FAMILY GENEALOGY RESEARCH - Eliza Butler Freer, Ormondes, Ireland
		Their first recorded appearance in Wigston is in 1504 when William Frerres and Robert Frerres sued John Frere of Wigston, husbandman, for "dispasturing, trampling down, and consuming their herbage with certain cattle at Wykingeston" to the value of forty shillings.
		The Freers had established themselves at Wigston by Elizabethan days and in 1606 Robert Freer (or Fryer, the frequent alternative form of the name) was one of the local men who bought the principal manor of Wigston from Lord Danvers for the sum of 800 lbs.
		The Wigston hearth tax return of 1664 shows their commanding position in this village of yeoman families: Anne Freer had one of the largest houses in the place, with five hearths, Deliverance Freer had a house with four hearths, and William Freer one of three hearths.

	Fishing Lure Review - Wigston Tasmanian Devil
		About Wigston Lures: Eddie Wigston first opened a retail store in 1934 in the town of New Norfolk in Tasmania where he sold radios, firearms, and tackle, until he was joined by his sons Ian and Garth.
		Together the family began experimenting with a variety of homemade fishing lures...and over a glass of beer one Friday evening in the late 70's the concept of their first mass production lures was born.
		Conclusion: Wigston may not be as well known on this side of the Pacific...but the Tassie is definitely making a name for itself with each passing month.

	TS65 Wigston south junction - Trainspots (Ver 1.70 )
		When the sun moves round in the afternoon there is a very good shot of southbound trains on the up fast, but trains heading south on the bi-directional slow and coming off the Wigston curve will be very head on.
		In the evening, the sun will be on the nose of northbound trains and it is possible to photograph any train that uses the down fast.
		It should also be noted that any freight booked to go round Wigston curve will use this track, together with any northbound freights that need to be looped, so if you want a picture of a northbound freight here, it is a bit of a lottery and you could be disappointed.
