History in brief
Lavenham grew rich on the wool and cloth trade in the 15th and 16th centuries. When the trade declined, its timber-framed houses were never rebuilt, leaving one of England’s best-preserved medieval villages. The church was rebuilt around 1485–1525 by rich clothiers; its tower dominates the village.
The place today
A working church.
