Wigston MagnaWigston (or more properly Wigston Magna to distinguish it from the nearby Wigston Parva), is a town in Leicestershire, just to the south of Leicester. It runs directly into Oadby, with which it shares Oadby and Wigston district council, and Leicester to the north. Wigston was the subject of W.G. Hoskin's pioneering historical study, The Midland Peasant (London: Macmillan, 1965), which traced the social history of this village from earliest recorded history into the 19th century.
