Pub history
This is named after William Wygston, several times the mayor of Leicester and a benefactor to the city. The rents from his estate in Wigston supported the hospital which he built, where Leicester Grammar School now stands. Wigston Magna gets its name from ‘Viking’s Tun’ or ‘settlement’. The Old English word ‘viking’ means ‘pirate’.
