English: The twin towers of Wymondham Abbey, near to Wymondham, Norfolk, Great Britain.

The church of St Mary & St Thomas of Canterbury, known as Wymondham Abbey, was the church of a Benedictine Priory that once stood here. The Priory became an Abbey in 1448 but was closed by Henry VIII in the 1530s; its remains can still be seen in the adjacent field. The church was completed during the 12th century. It used to be a cruciform church, with a length of 70 metres and twin west towers.
