Wymondham Abbey (pronounced Windum) is the Anglican parish church for the town of Wymondham in Norfolk, England. See Inside the church here

A wide range of services for worship take place, including different formats such as Messy Church, Sunday Sung Eucharist, Pram Service, Morning Prayer and Evensong with Benediction.

It is an active parish with a variety of groups running: prayer and bible study, social groups, Mothers' Union branch, the WAY youth group, choir, Friends of the Abbey. There is also much interest in the history of the building and parish, with an archivist and a Preservation Trust in operation. There are around 200 people on the Electoral roll and a similar number attend one of the four Sunday worship services.

The church is open daily and welcomes around 20,000 visitors each year.

Sunday services are at 8 am (Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion), 9.15 (Informal Communion service with activities for children), 10.30 (Sung Eucharist with choir) and 6.30 (Choral Evensong). Morning and Evening prayer is said daily.

Today the Abbey serves as the parish church of Wymondham, but it started life as a Benedictine priory.

The monastery was founded in 1107 by William d'Aubigny, Chief Butler to King Henry I. William was a prominent Norfolk landowner, with estates in Wymondham and nearby New Buckenham. The d'Albini (or d'Aubigny) family originated from St. Martin d'Aubigny in Normandy. Later, the founder's son, William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Arundel, in 1174 founded Becket's Chapel close by in the town, to be served by two monks from the Priory....

Wymondham /ˈwɪndəm/ is a market town and civil parish in Norfolk, England, 9.5 miles (15 km) south-west of Norwich, just off the A11 road from Norwich to London which now by-passes the town.^[2] The parish includes large rural areas to the north and south of the town itself
