Wigton is a small market town on the edge of the Lake District, the county of Cumbria in England. The Romans had a cavalry station, Olenacum, known locally as "Old Carlisle", just to the south of the town. Wigton was in existence by 1100AD when it became a Norman barony gaining it's market charter in 1262. Although the town's layout is generally medieval, it's architectural style is Georgian which remains largely intact. In the middle of Wigton's market place is the George Moore Memorial Fountain built in 1872, of particular interest are the four bronzes around the fountain, the work of the pre-Raphaelite sculptor Thomas Woolner. St. Mary's Church dates from 1788, but there was a church on this site from the 12th century.
