More on Wymondham
The history of Wymondham goes back as early as the Norman Conquest. Its abbey began as a Benedictine priory during the reign of King Henry I in the 12th century.Wymondham earns its place in English history as the home of Robert Kett, who led a rebellion of peasants and farmers in 1549. He was eventually captured and hanged at Norwich Castle.
A major fire razed two major parts of Wymondham in 1615, destroying some three hundred properties in town, including the 13th century Market Cross, the vicarage and the Town Hall. The Market Cross has since been rebuilt, and stands as one of the landmark in the center of town.
