Wymondham town sign
The sign at Wymondham is in the usual “T” shape to denote a town sign. It is surmounted by a representation of the abbey and a praying figure.
It is double sided and both sides depict scenes from the Wymondham past wood turning industry. In the lower panel both sides are spoons as would have been manufactured by the wood-turners and the words which came to be pronounced Wymondham, ‘Win Munte Ham’, meaning the village on the pleasant mound. On the other side is the rebellious rabble rouser William Kett standing under ‘Kett’s oak’ who was hanged twice. For his deeds he was hanged from the walls of Norwich Castle on 7 December 1549; on the same day he was hanged from the west tower of Wymondham Abbey. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6805305

The Green Dragon, Wymondham
The Green Dragon dates from the late 15th century. It once served as a hostelry for visitors to the Abbey. It is the oldest inn in Wymondham. Beyond is Becket's Chapel.
The chapel was founded in 1174 by William d'Albini, the son of the founder of Wymondham Abbey. During the Middle Ages it became a guild chapel, and each guild kept a light burning there. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries it fell into disrepair but in 1559 it was converted for use as a grammar school. The school moved in the early 1800s after which it was used to store coal. From 1931 until 2008 the chapel housed Wymondham Library but since 2009 it has been used as the town's Arts Centre.
