Wigston, also known as Wigston Magna, is a large town located in Leicestershire, England, situated approximately 4 miles south of Leicester city center. Originally two separate settlements - Wigston Magna and Wigston Two Steeples - the town has grown into a significant suburban area with a rich industrial heritage.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Wigston was an important center for framework knitting and the hosiery industry, which played a crucial role in its development. The town retains several historical buildings and landmarks that reflect its cultural heritage, including the Framework Knitters Museum and two medieval churches, All Saints and St Wistan's, which give rise to the old name "Two Steeples."
Today, Wigston serves as both a residential community and a local commercial center, maintaining its distinct identity while being closely connected to Leicester's wider cultural sphere.
