Welcome to Wilton

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Happy St George`s Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

If you`ve been out and about around the town today, you`ll have seen we`re flying the St George`s Flag in the Market Square to mark St George`s Day.

Originally a Roman soldier, born in the 3rd century AD, St George was adopted as the Patron Saint of England during the reign of King Edward III in the 14th century. The simple flag of a red cross on a white background was originally used by English soldiers during the Crusades.

Did you know St George is also the Patron Saint of Ethiopia, Georgia and Portugal?

✍️ Signing of the Armed Forces Covenant ✍️

On Monday evening we signed our Armed Forces Covenant Pledge.

Mayor of Wilton, Cllr Chris Harrison, and our town Clerk, Brie, signed the Pledge on behalf of Wilton Town Council at our Annual Town Meeting.

Wilton has a long association with our Armed Forces, having previously been home to HQ Land Command. Our Pledge helps ensure that those who serve, or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, including the bereaved, are treated fairly.

The signing of the Pledge is an important first step for us to demonstrate our commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community.

🌱 Mayor`s Charity Presentation 🌱

At our Annual Town Meeting on Monday, we were delighted to host a presentation as our former Mayor, Cllr Alexandra Boyd, officially handed over a cheque for £700 to the fantastic local charity, Seeds4Success.

​These funds were raised through Cllr Boyd`s dedicated fundraising efforts throughout her mayoral term, from May 2025 to January 2026. We are incredibly proud of the generosity shown by our community in supporting her chosen charity, and we know this donation will be put to great use supporting young people in our area.

​Well done to Cllr Boyd for a successful year of fundraising, and a huge thank you to Seeds4Success for the vital work they do in our community!
