Wilstone history
Wilstone began under the name Wyvellsthorn somewhere around the 6th century but there is evidence that the area had been settled long before then as a Roman coin with the face of Publius Metilius Nepos, a Roman Governor of Britain from AD96 to AD98, has been found in the village. Before the construction of the Grand Union Canal and Tring reservoirs Wilstone consisted of a marsh in the south called ‘the moors’ and mills in the northern part of the village known as the milloppers.
The Witches Trial
In 1751 a horrific witch hunt took place in Wilstone and the surrounding villages. The series of events began in Gubblecote when an elderly couple from Long Marston were begging for money. After being turned away the mutterings of the women were mistaken for a curse and soon after the farmer fell ill and the two were believed to be a Wizard and a Witch.
