The extraordinary market cross in Wymondham

This town is a real jewel, stuffed full of interesting things to see and do - only a couple of which are shown in this film - and with a fascinating story behind its rather curious abbey.

Mind you, the film doesn't show the abbey at its best. I first saw the interior late in the evening when the whole building was dark and the gold of the reredos was lit by spotlights that made it seem like a glimpse of heaven on earth. If you do visit the place, try and attend an evening service - not only will you see the reredos at its best, but you will get a very warm welcome from the vicar and the congregation.
