History of Wigmore
Wigmore is a suburb in the Southeast of Medway in Kent. It lies opposite Hempstead to the east and Rainham to the northeast.
The place name was attested in 1275 as Wydemere, from an Old English wīd-mere "broad pool".
A sparsely populated hamlet and farming area until the 20th century, Wigmore was briefly the site of a smallpox isolation hospital (Alexandra Hospital) from 1902, and began to be developed as a suburb from 1906 when the 365-acre Wigmore agricultural estate was partitioned and sold as plots initially, as smallholdings (hence the local “Smallholders Club” located close to St. Mathew’s Church) and rural shanties for Medway families.
