More about this scene
Caption for Wymondham, Market Place And Cross C1965: This pleasant market town sits on the road from Thetford to Norwich, and was once a resting place for pilgrims - it still has a fine Guild Chapel dedicated to St Thomas a Becket. The town is renowned for the number and quality of its historic houses, and is blessed with an ancient abbey, founded by William d'Albini in 1107. The half-timbered octagonal market cross, resting on timber stilts and stone arches, was built in 1605 after a fire destroyed a good proportion of the town. It has an outside wooden stair leading to a reading room. Crowning the imposing pyramid roof is a weathercock.
