About Wigton
- Melvyn Bragg, Baron Bragg — broadcaster, author, and presenter of The South Bank Show — was born in Wigton in 1939 and grew up in the town. His novel "The Hired Man" (1969) is set in the Cumbrian countryside around Wigton and is widely regarded as one of the finest novels about rural working-class life in 20th-century England.
- Wigton's Victorian market fountain, erected in 1872 in memory of George Moore — a local merchant who made his fortune in London — is one of the most ornate market fountains in Cumbria and the centrepiece of the town's traditional market square.
- The Solway Plain around Wigton is one of the most fertile agricultural areas in northern England, and the town's weekly market has served the surrounding farming community for over 700 years, with a market charter dating back to 1262.
