Lavenham

Lavenham is a famous medieval town in our region of England. In medieval times Lavenham was in the top 20 wealthiest towns in England, primarily due to its prominence in the wool trade. During its time of prosperity (15th Century), residents built lots of these adorable timber-framed houses.

Above is the Guildhall of Corpus Christi, which was built in 1530. In our tour Friday we learned that Jane Taylor, who wrote the words to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," actually lived in the Lavenham Guildhall.

Below is the "crooked cottage." It's just another example of the great architecture we enjoyed in Lavenham.
