Wymondham, Leicestershire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wymondham is a village in the district of Melton in Leicestershire, England. It is part of a civil parish which also covers the nearby hamlet of Edmondthorpe. The parish has a population of about 600. It is close to the county borders with Lincolnshire and Rutland, nearby places being Garthorpe, Teigh (in Rutland) and South Witham (in Lincolnshire). The village is the site of a windmill. A disused railway line runs through the village—the Edmondthorpe and Wymondham railway station, closed to passengers in 1959. [1]

The village church is St Peter, with the village's priest also responsible for Buckminster & Sewstern (South Framland). The church saw the wedding of Michael Carrick and Lisa Roughead in June 2007. The village pub is the Berkeley Arms on Main Street. There is a small village shop open on weekdays.
