デオファム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ17

A nice example of a medieval building with considerable 19th century modifications. A highlight is the ornate alabaster tomb to Sir Edmund de Thorpe who died in 1417 in Normandy.

The pub in Thomson (The Chequers) on Griston Road is worth a visit...old with lots of character.

The wood does not allow dogs, as we found out when we got there!

Founded in 1107 by William d'Aubigny, the butler to King Henry I, Wymondham Abbey was once a thriving monastery. However, it was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, with the abbey officially surrendered to the crown in 1538. Today, the building serves as an Anglican parish church.

Not so good spot for lunch, move on and find a better place

Listed as one of the '50 Great British Trees', the oak was reputedly where Robert Kett addressed a meeting which resulted in 'Kett's Rebellion' against enclosure of common land and rising living costs. It didn't end well: the Ketts and other rebels were later hung here. Avoid the busy main road and use the cycle path which runs parallel to it just behind the tree.

Has that curious thing of being impressively intact at one end but partially ruined at the other. Very grand for a parish church!

Quaint market town with the usual collection of shops and cafes making it a good place for a ride break.
