Wymondham Abbey was founded in 1107 by William D'Albini, Chief Butler to King Henry I, as a Priory of the great Benedictine Monastery of St. Albans.
Wymondham became an Abbey in its own right in 1448 until it was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1538.
A large portion of the Abbey remains, the nave between the two towers, but the rest of it was destroyed by Henry VIII in the ten years he owned it.
The abbey may have had a spire but its original form is under much dispute as few traces of it remain.
Building work was never finished on the abbey, one of the towers remains incomplete.
