Becket`s Chapel, Wymondham, Norfolk, England, UK

Becket`s Chapel, Wymondham, Norfolk, England, UK. Becket’s Chapel is a Grade I listed building. It was founded in the last few decades of the 12th century, by the son of William d`Aubigny, the founder of Wymondham Abbey. The current chapel structure dates largely to around 1400. In 1559 it was converted to a school, and for some time in the 17th century a lock-up for unconvicted prisoners was attached to the building until at least 1848. In 1873 it was restored and used as a public hall. It has since been used as a school and a library but is currently Wymondham Arts Centre. Inside, the nave remains undivided and the arch-braced hammerbeam roof can be easily seen.
