William Wyggeston

[1] He married twice, firstly Isabella, sister of Alderman Richard Gillot, and secondly Agnes, the widow of a Mr Trotter.

[1] [2] The hospital still exists as a retirement home for old people, based on Hinckley Road in the West End of Leicester.

The original hospital was next to St Martin's Church (now Leicester Cathedral)[2] After Wyggeston's death, his brother Thomas Wyggeston, as a trustee, used part of the money to establish a grammar school in Leicester.

Wyggeston is one of the figures honoured by Leicester's Clock Tower (which spells his name 'Wigston').

A Freemasons' meeting in Leicester named a Lodge after William Wyggeston which was consecrated on 1 July 1910.
