Our Family Homepages

We moved here to Wymondham almost three years ago from Chelmsford in Essex, where we had lived for about forty years or so.
Life in Chelmsford seemed to be getting busier and quicker all the time, more people, more cars, more bustle, more traffic jams, more hassle.
I expect that most of it was due to a massive influx of people moving down from the London area over a number of years, thus making our life in Chelmsford a great deal different from what we were used to.
So we decided that it was time to move on, to attempt to return hopefully to a more quieter way of life again.
So here we are in Wymondham, a small but rather unique Market town, in the rolling countryside of the beautiful county of Norfolk.
Where life is so much more pleasant for everyone living here.
We decided to build ourselves a family website, so that other family members who are living elsewere in this country and abroad are able to keep in touch with us.

Our Market Town

firefox Wymondham is an attractive, picturesque historic Norfolk market town, with its red roofs and the massive twin towers of the Abbey church set against green fields of the Tiffey Valley. While Wymondham has changed with the times, it has also maintained its market town atmosphere with an attractive town centre, with outstanding old buildings,and a good range of shops and facilities. Like many East Anglian towns, Wymondham earned its wealth from wool, but another industry which survived in the town was the making of small wooden objects - spoons for example - and some of the streets of Wymondham take their name from this, such as Spooner Row.
Wymondham has a magnificent, twin tower Abbey, founded in 1107 by William d'Albini and has been adapted over the centuries. If you come to visit, make sure you do not miss Wymondham railway station, which has been restored and its buildings house a museum, gift shop, themed restaurant and tea room.
