Wymondham Abbey

Welcome

Wymondham Abbey is one of the grandest religious buildings in East Anglia. It is a magnificent Norman church, originally established in 1107 as part of a monastic foundation. It was later enlarged and embellished with a particularly fine angel roof. The famous gilded altar screen by Sir Ninian Comper is among its many splendours. The unusual twin towers are a prominent local landmark.

But at Wymondham Abbey, we are more than just an ancient treasure chest. We are an active and lively parish church, with services every day and a variety of activities and community events throughout the year. Please explore our website for more information, then come and explore the church for yourself.

We are open most days of the year. We have welcomers on duty and a well-stocked shop on site. Our Lottery-funded Abbey Experience includes displays and other new facilities, such as refreshments and a comfortable seating area, ensuring your visit will be enjoyable and memorable. We are truly a place for welcome, worship and wonder.

However, a church is far more than a beautiful building. The Abbey is a living community which seeks to celebrate God’s love for His people in so many different ways. Through our worship, friendship and social activities we try to live out the Gospel in all its fullness. We offer a warm welcome to people from all over the world, as well as from ‘just around the corner’. The Abbey is also a popular venue for concerts, exhibitions and fayres, as well as being a ‘living history’ resource for our local schools.
