Wymondham Abbey, Norfolk

Thursday, April 29, 2010
One of my favourite places to take my camera for the evening is Wymondham Abbey. Over the years I have walked to the abbey either in the morning or at dusk as the light is going down. It's so easy to take a great picture and if you are local I encourage you to do the same. For the history buffs amongst you, the abbey was founded in 1107 and was a monastry until 1448 when the Pope allowed it to become an Abbey. 1559 saw the Kett rebellion a protest regarding enclosure that ended with Robert Kett being hung over the side of Norwich Castle and left to die over a number of days. His brother William was taken back to the Abbey and the same fate was given to him.



At night the Abbey and its ruins take on a different feel:





The Abbey recently celebrated its 900th birthday with the ruined tower being light by coloured lights:



Early morning in the summer is a great time to take a picture so remember to take your cameras:




Nowdays many weddings are conducted at the Abbey, so if you're thinking about getting married there, I can assure you the photographs would be fantastic.

Don't forget if you need a wedding photographer in Norfolk to give us a call.
