By 1086, Wymondham had 376 households (giving an estimated total population of 1,880), which put it among the top 20 per cent of settlements recorded in [[Domesday Book|Domesday]]. The land was held by two feudal Lords: [[William the Conqueror]] and [[William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey|William de Warenne]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://opendomesday.org/place/TG1101/wymondham/ |title=Wymondham {{!}} Domesday Book |website=opendomesday.org |access-date=2019-10-13}}</ref>
