The History Of Wigton

This book tells the story of Wigton from its earliest times down to the turn of the twentieth century. First published in 1949, this facsimile  reprint, published in 1992, is a thorough and well researched history of the town by William Carrick- and an absolute delight to read!

Much of the book originally appeared in monthly articles under the name Oald Fashent Crack in the parish magazines of St Mary’s Wigton over a period of seven years. the content was revised and augmented with other material after further research
