Wymondham
Wymondham is a charming market town that, despite the Great Fire in 1615, still retains a wealth of historic buildings. Set against the gentle slopes of the Tiffey Valley, the imposing twin towers of Wymondham Abbey, dating back to 1107, dominates the skyline. The Abbey’s colourful history includes stories of misbehaving monks, secret passages and it was the subject of a feud between the Priory and the town lasting hundreds of years. The narrow medieval streets set the scene for Norfolk Rising of 1549 and the famous Norfolk hero - Robert Kett. The imposing Market Cross built in 1617 now houses the tourist information centre.
