Wymondham

Wymondham is a market town and civil parish in the South Norfolk district of Norfolk, England, 9.5 miles south-west of Norwich off the A11 road to London. The River Tiffey runs through. The parish, one of the largest in Norfolk, includes rural areas to the north and south of the town, including the hamlets of Suton, Silfield, Spooner Row and Wattlefield. It had a population of 14,405 in 2011, of which 13,587 lived in the town.
The town developed during the Anglo-Saxon period. With the establishment of a priory in 1107 and a market in 1204, it began to expand. Industrially, Wymondham became known as a centre of woodturning and brush making, retaining its brush factories until the late 20th century. New housing to the north and east of the town centre brought rapid expansion. Dual carriageways for the A11 and the development of rapid rail links to Norwich, Cambridge means Wymondham is now a commuter town. Major local employers include the headquarters of Norfolk Constabulary and the Lotus Cars factory at nearby Hethel.
