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.

Places to see in ( Brackley - UK )
Places to see in ( Brackley - UK )
Brackley is a town in south Northamptonshire, England. It is about 19 miles from Oxford and about 22 miles from Northampton. Historically a market town based on the wool and lace trade, it was built on the intersecting trade routes between London, Birmingham and the English Midlands and between Cambridge and Oxford. Brackley has connections with Formula 1 as it is close to Silverstone and home to the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team.
Brackley, originally also known as Brachelai or Brackele, was held in 1086 by Earl Alberic. After this it passed to the Earl of Leicester, and to the families of De Quincy and Roland. In the 11th and 12th centuries Brackley was in the Hundred of Odboldistow and in the Manor of Halse. Richard I (The Lionheart) named five official sites for jousting tournaments so that such events could not be used as local wars, and Brackley was one of these. The tournament site is believed to be to the south of the castle where the A422 now passes.
Brackley used the poor house at Culworth until 1834, when Parliament passed the Poor Law Amendment Act and as a result Brackley Poor Law Union was founded.[5] A workhouse for 250 people was built in 1836, southwest of the town on Banbury Road. It was demolished in the 1930s.
Brackley Castle was built soon after 1086. Its earthwork remains lie between Hinton Road and Tesco. It comprised a motte mound 10 feet (3.0 m) high and approximately 44 yards (40 m) in diameter with an outer bailey to the east. Archaeological excavation has revealed evidence of a ditch defining the perimeter of the bailey. Two fishponds originally lay outside the ditch but have subsequently been infilled – however south of St. James Lake may have formed a part of this. Brackley Castle may have gone out of use in 1147. It was destroyed in 1173.
The almshouses were founded in 1633 by Sir Thomas Crewe of Steane. They have one storey plus attic dormers. They were originally six houses but by 1973 they had been converted into four apartments. Brackley Manor House was also a 17th-century Jacobean building that also originally had one storey plus attic dormers. In 1875–78 the Earl of Ellesmere had it rebuilt on a larger scale, in the same style but retaining only the doorway and one window of the original building. It is now Winchester House School, a coeducational preparatory school for children aged from 3–13. It used to be a Woodard School.
Brackley is close to the A43 road, which now bypasses the town, linking it to Towcester and Northampton to the north-east and the M40 motorway to the west. The A422 links it to Banbury and Buckingham. The nearest railway station is Kings Sutton, about 6 miles (10 km) west of the town. Brackley had two railway stations of its own that were closed in the 1960s. Brackley's first station, known in its latter years as Brackley Town, opened in May 1850 as part of the Buckinghamshire Railway's Buckingham and Brackley Junction line between Verney Junction and Banbury Merton Street via Buckingham.

Kett's revolt, Norfolk 1549
SEE MY FACEBOOK HISTORY PAGE
Kett's Rebellion was a revolt in Norfolk beginning in July 1549 instigated by Robert Kett (or Ket) of Wymondham, Norfolk. Robert Kett had been a tanner and owned the manor of Wymondham making him a wealthy man.
The town of Wymondham illegally celebrated the life of Saint Thomas Becket on the weekend of 6 July 1549. Such celebrations had been made illegal as a result of the reformation. However the citizens, already fired up against the establishment turned on the fences in the nearby village of Morley St. Botolph before proceeding onto John Flowerdew's estate at Hethersett. Common land had been taken over by private owners thus denying many people the right to graze their animals. Flowerdew paid the crowd to go away and suggested that they pull down the fences of his neighbour Robert Kett. Surprisingly, Kett agreed with the position of the crowd, removed his own fences before returning to John Flowerdew's lands where they ripped down his fences.
By 9 July, Kett had led the men to the city of Norwich. The mayor at the time was so alarmed by the rebellion that he offered the protesters with money and a promise of pardon, which was rejected.
On 11 July, Kett set up a base on Mousehold Heath, just outside Norwich. People from all around the area, including Norwich itself, joined Kett so that numbers grew to around 15,000. Morale was so high amongst Kett's men that they rejected further offers of money, liquor and official pardons, whilst ripping down enclosures around the city.
After a couple of weeks on Mousehold Heath, food became scarce and morale was weakening. Therefore on 22 July 1549, Kett led the men on a succesful attack on Norwich using farming instruments as weapons.
The government in London sent the William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton to quash the rebellion. This attack failed. However, John Dudley, Earl of Warwick was sent with a further, stronger army. Warwick had fought in France and was experienced and defeated the rebels.
Kett fled during the battle to a nearby town, where he was found a couple of days later. Several other ringleaders were hanged. Robert Kett and his brother William Kett were taken to Norwich Castle for questioning under torture. Eventually they were taken to the Tower of London, where they were convicted of High Treason. On the 7 December 1549, Robert Kett was taken back to Norwich castle and hanged in chains over the side. His brother, William Kett, was hanged over the side of Wymondham Abbey in a similar manner.
