*************

Wymondham is a village in the district of Melton in Leicestershire, England. It is part of a civil parish which also covers the nearby hamlet of Edmondthorpe. The parish has a population of about 600. It is close to the county borders with Lincolnshire and Rutland, nearby places being Garthorpe, Teigh (in Rutland) and South Witham (in Lincolnshire). The village is the site of a windmill.

The village church is St Peter, with the village's priest also responsible for Buckminster & Sewstern (South Framland). The church saw the wedding of Michael Carrick and Lisa Roughead in June 2007. The village pub is the Berkeley Arms on Main Street. There is a small village shop with post office open on Mondays, Tuesday mornings and Thursdays. Wymondham also has a thriving primary school and preschool (Roots to Wings).

A disused railway line (part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway branch line between Saxby and Bourne) runs just to the north of the village. The Edmondthorpe and Wymondham railway station closed to passengers in 1959 [1] though the line remained open for ironstone freight, and HM Queen Elizabeth journeyed along it in 1967. The route was also used for holiday trips from Leicester to Skegness. The former goods yard; goods shed; station; Station House; and Navvies' Cottage (Grade II Listed) are passed when travelling from the village along Butt Lane towards the windmill.

There is also a large playing field named after Sir John Sedley, which is kept in order by a team of volunteers from the community. The field is used by youths for sport and also by dog walkers.
