Comments about this page
There was indeed an earlier chapel in Wigston. I have been unable as yet to establish its exact location so I cannot say whether the building is still extant. I plan to start a new page for this building in order to make available the information which I do have. It should appear shortly.
Is there an earlier Wesleyan Chapel still standing in Wigston?
My 5th Great Grandfather, William Kirby was a Wesleyan Preacher and one of the first people to preach in Wigston in 1819. He also preached in nearby Great Glen, where he was from.
