William Bigge (1707–1758) was an English lawyer, landowner and colliery owner.
[3][4] He also by the late 1730s owned collieries, at Little Benton, Heddon-on-the-Wall, and East and West Heddon.
[5] In the early 1750s, Bigge acted as an agent for Charles Brandling, then a minor, making land purchases around Hunslet in Yorkshire.
[10] He came to own lands that had originally belonged to a cell of Hexham Priory,[11] and gained estates at Ovington and Stannington, Northumberland.
[1] There were four sons:[8] Besides his brother Edward, who died unmarried, Bigge had a brother Thomas, who married Elizabeth Rundell, sister of Philip Rundell the jeweller; and a sister Grace who married Sir Robert Carr.
