Wigmore, Herefordshire history
Early history
An early settlement on a hill close by the location of the present village seems to have been called Merestone or Merestun. Roman remains have been found in the area (near Bury Farm, to the east) on the western branch of Watling Street. Wigmore Church is an Anglo-Saxon foundation, with substantial surviving wall portions dating to the 10th century.
The Mortimer period
Wigmore is one of very few Herefordshire boroughs recorded in the Domesday Book. The castle was one of the main English border castles along the Welsh Marches during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The importance of the castle was at least partly due to the influence of the Mortimer family.
Modern history
Wigmore was one of the first areas in England to have an Enclosure Act. Dating from 1772, this act affected the moor and woods nearby. The dividing earth banks still survive. The size of the village was 3,441 acres (13.93 km) and 104 houses.
