Wigston Parva is a tiny, predominantly rural civil parish in the district of Blaby, Leicestershire, England. It comprises a very small cluster of dwellings and farmsteads set in hedged fields, retaining a quiet, agricultural character rather than a village centre or many local services.
Historically the name reflects its status as a lesser settlement (parva meaning “small”), and its social life is closely tied to neighbouring communities and the nearby town of Leicester for shops, schools and commuting. Economically the area remains largely farming-based, with the surrounding Leicestershire landscape and lanes giving it a distinctly rural feel within easy reach of the wider Midlands.
