Renewable Energy in Wymondham, Norfolk
Wymondham (pronounced "Windham") is dominated by the magnificent twin-towered Abbey — a remarkable Norman church where the separate octagonal tower was built by the townspeople after a dispute with the monks. Robert Kett's Rebellion of 1549 began under the oak tree on the edge of town, a pivotal event in English social history. The Market Cross, a distinctive timber-framed octagonal structure built in 1617-18 after a great fire, is one of Wymondham's most photographed landmarks. Today, the town is one of Norfolk's most desirable commuter addresses, with professional families attracted by excellent schools, the direct rail link to Norwich (12 minutes), and period homes along the Town Green and Middleton Street. New developments at Silfield and south of the A11 have added modern estates with roof orientations well-suited to solar panels. The Wymondham Heritage Museum (housed in the Bridewell, a former prison) and weekly Friday market maintain the town's independent character. The Mid-Norfolk Railway heritage line terminus at Wymondham Abbey Station connects to Dereham.
