Wigmore Circular Walk

'... During the Norman Conquest it was a stronghold for the anti-Norman rebels led by the legendary Edrik the Wild, Lord of Wigmore. Wigmore was eventually captured and given to the Mortimer Family, who made it the seat of their power, thereby enhancing the status of the town still further. However, from the late 14th century the town fell into gradual decline, the village finally lost its regional power in 1970 with the closure of its Magistrates Court. Look out for excellent examples of traditional timber framed buildings and other clues to Wigmore’s long heritage.'
