Watercolour landscape entitled "Leigh Park" showing a view across what appears to be a river or lake and parkland towards a large stately home in the distance. Wigram painted several views of Leigh Park, which was the home of his uncle, Lt. General Sir Frederick Wellington John Fitzwygram, and his son, Sir Frederick Loftus Fitzwygram. Sir ETA Wigram inherited the Wigram baronetcy from Frederick Loftus Fitzwygram, his cousin, in 1920. Leigh Park house was demolished in the 1950s. Sir Edgar Thomas Ainger Wigram bart. (1864-1935) was mayor of St Albans in 1926.
