Note that the cafe is cash only though! Took a detour to get here, then couldn't buy anything :(

A nice example of a medieval building with considerable 19th century modifications. A highlight is the ornate alabaster tomb to Sir Edmund de Thorpe who died in 1417 in Normandy.

Founded in 1107 by William d'Aubigny, the butler to King Henry I, Wymondham Abbey was once a thriving monastery. However, it was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, with the abbey officially surrendered to the crown in 1538. Today, the building serves as an Anglican parish church.

There is a point in the map that looks like you take a path at the bridge you make your way to the rail track however you need to go through the allotments to get back to the rail track as there is no way down to the track from or near the bridge

A short distance from the main market square area, on the edge of the town centre. Howard's Cycles is handily just a few yards further down the road if you're in need of any spares or repairs.
