Another sympathiser in this dreadful war. Made by a local woman, and flown on the village flagpole.

You seem to get a better class of scarecrow in these parts! The allotments are raised about six feet above road level.

Situated in Main Street opposite the road to Garthorpe, the front building would appear to be the original TE with the rear building added later. Besides Wymondham, this TE also serves Edmondthorpe, Garthorpe, Saxby and Teigh nearby. It has (01572) 787xxx numbers and its postcode is LE14 2AG.

In its wide main street were held for centuries the weekly market and the annual fair granted in 1303. According to 'A Shell Guide to Leicestershire' by W. G. Hoskins: "It was once a much larger place and the back lanes are probably decayed streets with old walls, old orchards, ironstone cottages, and farmhouses complete with white doves. There was probably a Roman villa here adjoining the present Wymondham House, as rather more than a century ago a considerable area of Roman pavement was discovered and other Roman remains have been found.." St Peter's Church is mostly of ironstone. Although the church has transepts, the tower is at the west end and not over the crossing. The tower dates from the late 13th century, as does the chancel which is the other oldest part. There are Perpendicular additions to the tower and the spire which are of limestone. Pevsner calls the five-light east window "splendid". This view looks from the nave towards the chancel and the east window.
