Places to stay in Wigginton, Hertfordshire

Wigginton is a large village running north-south and perched at 730 ft on the edge of the Chiltern Hills in the county of Hertfordshire and aside the border with Buckinghamshire. The nearest towns are Tring in Hertfordshire and across the other side of the A41, Chesham (6m S) and Wendover (6m W), both in Buckinghamshire. In the 11th century, Wigginton was under the control of a half-brother of William I, Robert, Count of Mortain. However, in 1086 the Domesday Book indicates that Wigginton had not been gifted to him but was probably acquired by force by Robert from two adjacent estates close to Tring one of which had previously been in the hands of Edith of Wessex. During the 13th century Wigginton formed part of the estate at Little Gaddesden passing first to the de Broc family and then, through marriage to the de Lucys. After the death of Sir William Lucy in 1466 it was in the ownership of the Corbets for over 130 years. The manor was then the subject of successive legal challenges fought out in the Court of Chancery until it came into the possession of Sir Richard Anderson of the manor of Pendley during the 1650s. Elizabeth Spencer (nee Anderson) inherited Wigginton and became the third wife of Simon Harcourt, 1st Viscount Harcourt 1703. The manor remained in the Harcourt family until the 1860s. Colonel Charles Harcourt had died in 1831 leaving the manor to his three daughters, Sarah, Elizabeth and Alice who jointly sold it to Rev. James Williams in 1868. Local restaurants include Oak Room Restaurant, The Robin Hood Inn, Olive Limes, and The Green House.
