The History of Wistow

About Wistowpedia

Wistowpedia, like its namesake, can tell you everything you wanted to know and maybe some you didn’t!

This part of the village website was set up in 2010 by the Wistow History Society, a group of people with a common interest in finding out about the history of the village. Originally the aim of the Society was to produce a printed history, until an insightful person floated the idea of a website and from that eureka moment Wistowpedia was born.

The theory behind Wistowpedia is to produce a history of Wistow written by local people, as historically accurate as possible, containing both social and political history of the village through the years. It is hoped by all in the History Society that you will find something that is of interest. All the Society sincerely hopes this has been achieved and would welcome your comments.
