== History of Wymondham ==
=== Before The Great Fire ===
Wymondham's most famous inhabitant was ] (or Ket), who in 1549 led a rebellion of peasants and small farmers who were protesting about the ] of common land. He took a force of almost unarmed men, and fought for and held the City of Norwich for six weeks until defeated by the King's forces. He was hanged from ]. Kett's Oak, said to be the rallying point for the rebellion, may still be seen today on the road between Wymondham and ].

=== The Great Fire of Wymondham 1615 ===
The Great Fire of Wymondham broke out on Sunday ] ]. Two areas of the town were affected implying there were two separate fires. One area was in Vicar Street and Middleton Street and the other in the Market Place, including Bridewell Street and Fairland Street. About 300 properties were destroyed in the fire.

Important buildings destroyed included the Market Cross, dating from 1286; the vicarage in Vicar Street; the 'Town Hall' on the corner of Middleton Street and Vicar Street; and the schoolhouse. However, many buildings such as the Green Dragon pub did survive and many of the houses in Damgate Street date back to 1400, although this is now masked by later brickwork.

The fire was started by three Gypsies, William Flodder, John Flodder and Ellen Pendleton (Flodder) and a local person, Margaret Bix (Elvyn). The register of St Andrew's Church in Norwich records that John Flodder and others were executed on ] ] for the burning of Wymondham.

Rebuilding of the destroyed buildings was quick in some cases and slower in others. A new Market Cross, the one we see today, was started and completed by 1617. However by 1621 there were still about 15 properties not yet rebuilt. Economic conditions in the ] could have been a contributory factor to the delay in rebuilding.

=== After the Great Fire ===

In 1785 a ] was built using the ideas of ], the prison reformer. It was the first prison to be built in this country with separate cells for the prisoners, and was widely copied both in the ] and the ].

The collapse of the woollen industry in the mid-nineteenth century led to great poverty in Wymondham. In 1836 there were 600 ]s, but by 1845 only 60. During ] the town was a backwater, escaping large-scale development, and the town centre remains very much as it must have been in the mid-seventeenth century, when the houses were rebuilt after a great fire. These newer houses, and those which survived the Great Fire, still surround shoppers and visitors as they pass through Wymondham's narrow mediaeval streets.

== Wymondham today ==
=== Governance ===
The civil parish of Wymondham has an area of ] and in the ] had a population of 12,539 in 5,477 households. This relatively large parish includes one nearby village, ].

Wymondham is governed by a town council of 15 councillors. The town is split into five ] each of which returns three members. Since the last election (2007) fourteen councillors are members of the ] and one is from the ]. The current mayor is Len Elston.

For the purposes of local government, Wymondham civil parish falls within the ] of ] returning five district councillors, one for each ward.<ref>Office for National Statistics & Norfolk County Council (2001). ''''. Retrieved ], ].</ref> The town as a whole returns one county councillor to ] – Daniel Cox, who is also the Leader of Norfolk County Council

The headquarters of the ], responsible for policing the whole of the county of Norfolk, are located in Wymondham.

=== Buildings ===
In the town centre there is a ], which is now used as a Tourist Information Centre. ] is the ] ].

The award-winning ] (voted Best Small Station in the 2006 National Rail Awards), which is often, though wrongly, believed to have been used in the classic film '']'', has been lovingly restored by David Turner, and now houses a museum and themed restaurant. The station was however featured, along with ] station on the ], as the "Warmington-on-Sea" station in the popular BBC comedy series "]". Wymondham station is the junction for the ], although their trains, running ] north to ] operate from the separate ].

A large housing development has just been completed in Wymondham near the Hethersett road. Construction of this housing estate began after much opposition and, more recently, plans for a new housing estate on a green-fields site on the Wicklewood-side of Wymondham. There is major opposition to this development as much wildlife may be damaged and the buildings will be on a flood plain.

Notability of Wicklewood Massiv

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wicklewood Massiv, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wicklewood Massiv seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wicklewood Massiv, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
