Welcome to Wilton

🎂 1433 Charter Anniversary 🎂

On this day, 593 years ago, Wilton was presented with a charter from King Henry VI.

This is the 16th of 18 Royal Charters granted to the Town (formerly Borough) of Wilton over the last thousand years.

Did you know... King Henry VI was just 11 years old when he issued this charter?

You can read a translation of this charter, see the other Town Charters, and read more about the history of Wilton, on our website:
