Places to see in ( Attleborough - UK )
Places to see in ( Attleborough - UK )
Attleborough is a market town and civil parish between Norwich and Thetford in Norfolk, England. The parish is in the district of Breckland and has an area of 21.9 square kilometres. Attleborough is in the Mid-Norfolk constituency of the UK Parliament, represented since the 2010 general election by the Conservative MP George Freeman. Attleborough railway station provides a main line rail service to both Norwich and Cambridge.
Following Henry the VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries the building was virtually destroyed by Robert Radcliffe, Lord Fitz Walter, Earl of Sussex, and material from the building was used for making up the road between Attleborough and Buckenham. However, this left Attleborough Church with a tower at the east end.
The arrival of the prisoners aroused a great deal of public interest, and eventually traders set up a fair whenever they came. This became known as Attleborough Rogues Fair and was held on the market place on the last Thursday in March. Also on the market place festivities took place on Midsummer Day, when the annual guild was held. It appears that there has been the right to hold a weekly Thursday market in the town since 1285. A weekly market is still held and has recently (in 2004) returned to Queen's Square where it is presumed the market was originally held.
The first turnpike road in England is reputed to have been created here at the end of the 17th century, Acts of Parliament were passed in 1696 and 1709, For the repairing of the highway between Wymondham and Attleborough, in the County of Norfolk, and for including therein the road from Wymondham to Hethersett.
Structurally the town changed little during the 1950s and there were no great leaps in population growth, other than the arrival of the notorious London gangsters, the Kray twins, who took over a local hostelry. The '60s were different, the overspill programme and new town development brought new families into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make decisions for the future and new development zones were designated.
The first estate programme began with the building of the council-owned Cyprus Estate which has since been complemented by other private housing schemes such as Fairfields and Ollands built mainly in the 1970s and a large estate on the south side of the town in the 1990s. The traditional traffic route along the A11 trunk road became a bottleneck as it ran both ways along High Street and Church Street, thus in the 1970s a one-way system was opened channelling traffic around the natural ring road surrounding the church. The volume of traffic continued to increase making that change obsolete so the Attleborough bypass was opened in 1984. The bypass was widened and completed in 2007 removing the only single lane section of the A11 between Thetford and Norwich.

Wymondham Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the East Anglian county of Norfolk, and just under 10 miles southwest of Norwich, is the town of Wymondham.
The first thing you need to know about Wymondham is its pronunciation. It is pronounced 'WIN-dum', so it pretty much rhymes with 'Swindon'. Now that you know how to avoid offending the locals, let's talk about its history.
Wymondham grew around a Benedictine priory founded in 1107 AD. Although the building was part-destroyed during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries, the west tower remains intact, and to this day forms Wymondham Abbey, the Anglican parish church for the town.
Wymondham was granted a market charter in 1204 under King John. One of the most striking landmarks of the town is its market cross which was built in 1617 to replace a previous incarnation that was destroyed in the Great Fire of Wymondham in 1615. Standing on Market Place, it is a notable example of an English buttercross - a structure under which people from neighbouring villages would gather to buy and sell butter and other dairy products, typically in medieval times.
One notable building that survived the fire of 1615 is The Green Dragon. This pub on Church Street (seen at the 4-minute mark) dates all the way back to 1371.
Wymondham became a centre for woodturning, i.e. producing wooden objects on a lathe with rotational symmetry, e.g. chair legs, door knobs, spindles etc. From this it branched out into brush-making, with factories in operation up until the late 20th century.
The railway first came to Wymondham in 1845, linking it up with Norwich to the east and Ely to the west. Over the years the population of Wymondham has expanded steadily owing to its proximity to cities such as Norwich and Cambridge. It is also around 5 miles from the headquarters of Lotus Cars, who are based in the nearby village of Hethel.

Hunstanton
Town in England
Hunstanton is a seaside town in Norfolk, England, which had a population of 4,229 at the 2011 Census. It faces west across The Wash, making it one of the few places on the east coast of Great Britain where the sun sets over the sea
Hunstanton is the only resort town in East Anglia which faces west, making the beach relatively sheltered from sea breezes and an excellent place to enjoy
Heacham and Hunstanton are unique in that they are east coast resorts that face west and so are two of the sunniest resorts in Norfolk, enjoying some dramatic
Wymondham, Norfolk

A visit to the beautiful market town of Wymondham in Norfolk on a wonderfully sunny day in early March 2011.
Wymondham's most famous inhabitant was Robert Kett (or Ket), who led a rebellion in 1549 of peasants and small farmers in protest at the enclosure of common land. He took a force of almost unarmed men and fought for and held the City of Norwich for six weeks until defeated by the King's forces. He was hanged from Norwich Castle. Kett's Oak, said to be the rallying point for the rebellion, can still be seen today on the B1172 road between Wymondham and Hetherset, part of the former main road to London.
I make references to fires in all of my walks around medieval towns as they date from the time of the last great fire. The Great Fire of Wymondham broke out on Sunday 11 June 1615. Two areas of the town were affected, implying there were two separate fires. One area was in Vicar Street and Middleton Street and the other in the Market Place, including Bridewell Street and Fairland Street. About 300 properties were destroyed in the fire. Important buildings destroyed included: the Market Cross, dating from 1286; the vicarage in Vicar Street; the 'Town Hall' on the corner of Middleton Street and Vicar Street; and the schoolhouse. However, many buildings such as the Green Dragon pub did survive and many of the houses in Damgate Street date back to 1400, although this is now masked by later brickwork.
The fire was started by three Gypsies - William Flodder, John Flodder and Ellen Pendleton (Flodder) - and a local person, Margaret Bix (Elvyn). The register of St Andrew's Church in Norwich records that John Flodder and others were executed on 2 December 1615 for the burning of Wymondham. Rebuilding of the destroyed buildings was quick in some cases and slower in others. A new Market Cross, the one we see today, was started and completed in 1617. However, by 1621 there were still about 15 properties not yet rebuilt. Economic conditions in the 1620s could have been a contributory factor to the delay in rebuilding.
Kett's Rebellion was evidence of an undercurrent of ferment in 16th-century Wymondham. Comparable discontent showed itself in the 17th century when a number of Wymondham citizens, including Thomas Lincoln, John Beal and others, moved to Hingham, Norfolk in the wave of religious dissent that swept England in the years preceding Cromwell's Commonwealth.
In 1785, a prison was built using the ideas of John Howard, the prison reformer. It was the first prison to be built in this country with separate cells for the prisoners and was widely copied both in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The collapse of the woollen industry in the mid-19th century led to great poverty in Wymondham. In 1836 there were 600 hand looms, but by 1845 only 60 existed. During Victorian times the town was a backwater and never experienced large-scale development. The town centre remains very much as it must have been in the mid-17th century, when the houses were rebuilt after the Great Fire. These newer houses, and those which survived the Great Fire, still surround shoppers and visitors as they pass through Wymondham's narrow mediaeval streets.
Wymondham in the Second World War was home to one of MI6's Radio Security Service direction finding stations; the type at Wymondham was a Spaced Loop design newly developed by the National Physical Laboratory. Unfortunately, this was soon found to be unsatisfactory and was converted to the more traditional Adcock type.. The station at Wymondham was located at latitude=52.583333, longitude=1.121667, just north of Tuttles Lane and east of Melton Road. Based on information from one of the WW2 operators it transpires that another spaced loop station was later installed alongside the first in 1944 after the Normandy invasion. This may have been due to increased interest in transmissions from western Europe where the shorter distance made the spaced loop more reliable.
As you can see in this film, in the town centre, there is a market cross, which is now used as a Tourist Information Centre and is owned by the Town Council. The original building was destroyed in the Great Fire of Wymondham in 1615; the present building was rebuilt between 1617-18 at a cost of £25-7-0d with funds loaned by local man, Philip Cullyer. The stilted building was like many others designed to protect valuable documents from both flood and vermin. According to T.F. Thistleton Dyer's English Folklore [London, 1878], live rats were nailed by their tails to the side of the building by way of a deterrent. This bizarre superstition ended in 1902 after a child was bitten, later to die of blood-poisoning.
Wymondham Abbey is the Church of England parish church.
TUDDENHAM - The tiny village close to base (Summer 2020 Village Tour)
Spent the day in Tuddenham. There was not much to see. What we did see was beautiful and well kept. Probably a great little village to live in if you're stationed here. Not to far from a town with groceries and not too far from either base (Lakenheath or Mildenhall).
We are trying to see as many villages and towns as possible. Some, there is almost too much to put into a video, and like this little guy... Almost not enough to make a video.
We did find one very interesting fact about Tuddenham and that is the old pathway that cuts through town. People have been using that road since before the Romans came over. THAT's INSANE!
Churches and cathedrals, Norfolk, UK
Norfolk enjoys the richest church heritage in the UK, with a stunning Norman cathedral, ruined abbeys, countryside wool churches and the most round tower churches in the UK. In total there are over 650... try to find a horizon without a spire...
Attleborough Station 1/5/18
So going back to my childhood on this diary with a trip to Sheringham doing all the stations on the Bittern Line, and some of the stations around the Greater Anglia network on a very warm day, I really enjoyed doing this diary and I hope you enjoy it!
