Before Wolsey was removed from power, he planned to make his home town of [[Ipswich]] a seat of learning. He built a substantial college, which for two years, 1528–1530, was parent of the Queen Elizabeth School or [[Ipswich School]], which today flourishes on another site. All that remains of Wolsey's structure is the former waterside gate, figured by [[Francis Grose]] in his ''Antiquities'', which can still be seen on College Street.

In 1930 Wolsey was commemorated in Ipswich with a pageant play.

An appeal was launched in 2009 to erect a permanent memorial to Wolsey in Ipswich.<ref name="wolseyinipswich.co.uk" /> This led to the commissioning of a more-than-life-sized bronze statue from sculptor [[David Annand]]. Wolsey is shown seated and facing south towards St Peter's Church (the former medieval Augustinian priory church, which he annexed as the chapel of his college), teaching from a book, and with a cat at his side. The statue was unveiled in June 2011, when it was dedicated by the [[Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich]], and launched in a civic capacity by the Mayor of Ipswich.<ref name="Evening Star" /><ref name="ipswich.gov.uk" />

Another statue of Wolsey stands in Leicester's [[Abbey Park, Leicester|Abbey Park]] close to the site of his burial. It was donated by the [[Wolsey (clothing)|Wolsey hosiery company]], a major employer in the city and also named after the cardinal.{{sfn|Crosby|n.d.}}

The Wolsey Place shopping centre and [[Woking F.C.]]'s nickname The Cardinals commemorate the fact Wolsey was visiting Henry VIII at [[Woking Palace]] when the news arrived that he had been made a cardinal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.geni.com/projects/Woking-Palace-Surrey-England/26496|title=Woking Palace, Surrey, England genealogy project|website=geni_family_tree}}</ref>
