This is a must see for those exploring the history of Wymondham, ideally situated between Wymondham Abbey and the Arts Centre, the Green Dragon is an absolute gem. The Great Fire of Wymondham, which broke out in 1615, was a major event in the town's history. About three hundred properties were destroyed in the fire, however the Green Dragon survived and scorch marks from the fire can be seen on the building to this day. I highly recommend it for both food and drink, and for the opportunity to step back in time.

A joy to walk around inside, and outside through the cloisters, and don’t be surprised if you end up walking out into the most beautiful little mews of cottages at the back! The cathedral was begun in 1096 and constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured Caen limestone. An Anglo-Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for the buildings. The cathedral was completed in 1145 with the Norman tower still seen today topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. Several episodes of damage necessitated rebuilding of the east end and spire but since the final erection of the stone spire in 1480 there have been few fundamental alterations to the fabric.
