==History==
The village name derives from the Old English pre-7th century personal name "Wicga", meaning "a beetle", plus the Old English suffix, "-tun", meaning a "settlement or enclosure, hence "Wigca's settlement".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Village name )〕
The village was named in the ''Domesday Book'' and noted as belonging to the cathedral church of St Peter in York. The name of the village has been recorded as ''Wichestun'' in the 11th century and ''Wygynton'' in the 13th century. The first recorded owners of the manor were the Askebys, who may have been connected with the neighbouring village of Haxby, and of Roger de Haxbey, who owned nearby land during the reign of Edward I. Hugh de Moresby, Lord of Moresby in Cumberland, was in possession of the manor of Wigginton in 1337. Through inheritance and marriage the manor passed to Anne Pickering and her second husband, Sir Henry Knyvett. She sold the manor with others in 1541 to Henry VIII, but his heir, Edward VI, granted them back to Anne and Henry in 1548.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Church )〕
