The Wigington family arrived in Warwickshire around 1750. In the nineteenth century James's Great Grandfather Thomas Mabbutt was the managing director of the Abingdon Gunworks Company in Birmingham manufacturing Snider, Chassepot and Martini guns. Stratford Armouries was built in 2007 on an -acre (m²) site - the former 'RAF Snitterfield'. The museum houses the family's private collection of arms and armour gathered over 250 years in the trade and is visited by tourists to Stratford and local people.
