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

Has that curious thing of being impressively intact at one end but partially ruined at the other. Very grand for a parish church!
