Great Wymondley

Great Wymondley

Great Wymondley is a picturesque hamlet situated near Hitchin in Hertfordshire. It is dominated by its small Norman church with a large apsidal chancel and 15th century nave roof. There are also earthworks of a former motte-and-bailey castle, and Delamere House, an elegant Elizabethan building. There are also a number of thatched cottages, including a row of terraced cottages each named after one of King Henry VIII's wives. Great Wymondley is much smaller than its neighbour, Little Wymondley.
