ABOUT
Becket's Chapel is owned and operated by Historic Norfolk.
It is a Grade 1 listed building, the earliest parts of which date from the 12th century and is one of Wymondham's most important heritage assets.
​
Becket's Chapel reopened in July 2023 following a programme of restoration and repair by Historic Norfolk This first phase of the restoration involved repairs to the fabric of the building to make it watertight, structurally sound and in a usable condition.
​
In October 2024 we received planning permission and listed building consent for Phase 2 work. This will include an upgrade to the kitchen and toilet facilities and a new extension on the south side, housing a café and welcome desk. Solar panels, a ground or air-source heat pump and discrete, secondary double glazing are also planned. These initiatives will make the chapel environmentally and economically sustainable. Before work can commence we must raise over £1million funding.
Becket's Chapel was opened on Sunday 25 June 2023 by the Mayor of Wymondham.
