Stunning church that's unusually large and impressive for a small market town. The surviving church building dates back to Norman times and was part of a larger abbey. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, much of the abbey was demolished, but the parish church survived.nThis building has seen numerous alterations over the years, including the addition of a gallery and present organ in the 18th century, and magnificent gilded altar screen in the early 20th century. Most recently, a modern extension for visitor facilities was opened in 2007.nThe church has a tremendous visual impact, from first seeing the two towers that dominate the local skyline as you walk through the green and pleasant grounds, to examining the magnificent details inside.nThe high ceiling and two levels of arches create the impression of a small cathedral, enhanced by ornately carved quire stalls and decorative stone carvings. Other treasures include the 15th century font with carved biblical imagery, and the historic clock mechanism on display.nIt's free to visit the church, with donations gratefully received. There are excellent visitor provisions in the new extension, with information boards covering the timeline of the church, plenty of seating, hot drinks facilities and well maintained toilets.nWymondham Abbey is a standout among churches, and worth travelling to see. Services are still held regularly and the people we met were welcoming.
Having had grandparents who lived in Wymondham I never actually ever had a look around until now. It's a beautiful building and well worth a look around. The lady that welcomed us in was very helpful and was happy to answer any questions we might have had.
Wymondham Abbey is a stunning and beautiful setting. The light is amazing as are the features of the church. Volunteers help to answer questions about it's history and there is a little area photo where you can sit and relax. There are toilets and so far, the best changing facilities that we've encountered with our now 10wk old son.
Beautiful place inside and out. Friendly too! We were offered tea and biscuits!
A wonderful place steeped in history with really helpful staff. There is a small shop and a refectory together with a small shop selling both religious and local artefacts. We were lucky enough to be there during a choral rehearsal which even grabbed my two daughters attention!
