St Mary's Church, Great Wymondley

Great Wymondley is a village near Hitchin in Hertfordshire. It is dominated by its small Norman church with a large apsidal chancel and 15th century nave roof.

One may find in the village the earthworks of a former motte-and-bailey castle, and also Delamere House, an elegant Elizabethan building. Great Wymondley has a number of thatched cottages, including a row of terraced cottages each named after one of King Henry VIII's wives.

Despite the names, Great Wymondley is much smaller than its neighbour, Little Wymondley.
