Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WYMONDHAM (pronounced Windham) , a market town in the mid-parliamentary division of Norfolk, England, ro m. S.W. of Norwich by the
Great
  Eastern railway. Pop. (19o1) 4764. The church of St Mary the Virgin rises on an eminence on the outskirts of the town. It was attached to a
Benedictine
  priory, founded about the beginning of the 12th century as a cell of St Albans abbey by William de Albini. In 1448 this foundation became an abbey. The
nave
  is of ornate Norman
work
 , with a massive triforium, surmounted by a Perpendicular
clerestory
  and a beautiful wooden roof. The broad N. aisle is Perpendicular, and has also a very fine rood screen. At the W. end there is a lofty and graceful Perpendicular tower. The choir, which was used as the conventual church, has left only slight traces, and one arch is
standing
  of a large chapel which adjoined it on the S. In the centre of the town is a picturesque half-timbered market cross (1616), with an octagonal upper chamber raised on massive pillars of
wood
 . A chapel, dedicated to St
Thomas
  of Canterbury, is used as a grammar school. At Wymondham on the 7th of July a festival was formerly held in honour of the saint. It was at this festival in 1549 that the rebellion of Robert Ket or Kett came to a head.
