Wymondham Heritage Museum – The Bridewell, Wymondham, Daily until 3rd November

Wymondham Heritage Museum

The Wymondham Heritage Museum has been set up by Wymondham Heritage Society to keep the history of Wymondham and its people alive.

The museum is packed full of exhibits and displays that tell the story of the people of Wymondham and the surrounding area.

The eclectic collection is housed in The Bridewell, a nationally important building that redefined how prisoners should be incarcerated. Visitors can also step into a recreated dungeon in the basement to see what life was like for a prisoner 200 years ago.

Our exhibits are displayed in the rooms once occupied by the prison, courthouse and police station. They are regularly changed to make your subsequent visits as interesting and insightful as the first one.
