About this quest

Step back to the year 1549 and into the shoes of a local Wymondham woodturner. Life is simple, sustained by the shared pastures of the commons—until the sweeping Enclosure Laws threaten everything you hold dear. 

As landowners seize common lands, leaving families like yours with no place to farm, tensions rise in this quiet Norfolk town.

Embark on a journey through the streets of Wymondham, uncovering the story of Robert Kett, a tanner turned revolutionary leader. 

Discover how his protest against injustice rallied thousands and challenged the might of the Tudor establishment. Through this immersive quest, experience a pivotal moment in history that laid the groundwork for modern England. Will you stand with Kett and his cause? The summer of 1549 awaits.

The mission: Your story in Wymondham

The year is 1549. You’re a local Wymondham woodturner. You also support your family by making use of the common pastures. But your quiet life is about to be disrupted by a summer you'll never forget.

Recent 'Enclosure Laws' mean gentry are claiming large swathes of common land, leaving you with nowhere to farm.

As we wander around Wymondham, we discover the story of Robert Kett. A man who led a protest against the Enclosure Laws and perhaps, helped catapult England into the modern era.
