The manor of Wishaw predates the Domesday Book and in the Norman period was subordinate to the Earls of Warwick. Later on, the Ryland family had their Moxhull Park stately home in Wishaw until it was burnt down in the early 20th century. On the site was built the famous Belfry golf resort which has held the Ryder Cup and other major competitions.
A notable building in Wishaw is the parish church of St Chad which has 13th century origins though much of the church is from later centuries including the south arcade and chancel (14th century) and tower (17th). Nowadays, the church is a popular venue for weddings due to it's apparent rural surroundings though in actuality close proximity to Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
Although there are a few scattered houses and small businesses throughout Wishaw, most of it is agricultural.
