St Wistan's church
Wistow is a hamlet and deserted medieval village in the English county of Leicestershire located to the south of the city of Leicester.
The Elizabethan Hall and the 13th century parish church dedicated to Saint Wigstan remain. The name derives from Wistan's Stowe. Nowadays Wistow is notable as the location of a rural crafts and garden centre and of a maize maze.
Administratively, Wistow forms part of the civil parish of Wistow and Newton Harcourt and of Harborough district, although the adjoining country park is in Blaby.
