Wymondham (Population 507)
Wymondham acts as a rural service centre six miles east of Melton Mowbray. For centuries, weekly markets were held in the Main Street, and an annual fair was granted in 1303. The street plan indicates that it was probably once a far larger village or small town. In the 18th century, Roman remains were found in the form of a pavement and other relics. The Parish Church of St. Peter on the south side of the village has a 13th century chancel, fine east window and monuments to the Berkeley family, Lords of the Manor until 1630. A " Free School " adjoining the churchyard, built in the 1670s as a Grammar School, was renovated in 1885 for use as a reading room. The replacement Grammar School is just west of the village. The Paulet family in Wymondham manufactured Stilton cheese and supplied it to the Bell Inn at Stilton on the Great North Road. This is how the cheese is thought to have derived its name. On a hillside to the north is a six sail tower windmill. The windmill is adjacent to a tea room and craft centre. In September 1999 a computer cafe offering Internet access was opened at the Sir John Sedley Centre and you can email them at sedley@itcentre.freeserve.co.uk.
