Some Lavenham Cottages

Visitors to Lavenham will find it easy to travel back to medieval times in their imaginations. The ancient village has been preserved in building after building in this most lovely of Suffolk spots, where timber-framed construction is the norm. If the imagination needs a little more help, they can stay in places like the 14th century Swan Inn, all beams and cosy fires, or Lavenham Priory, built by the Benedictines a century earlier, with its oak floors and courtyard herb garden. The village halted in its architectural evolution because the wealth which allowed it to bloom in medieval times disappeared with the rapid decline of the cloth trade, so what was there was little â€œimprovedâ€ of added to in later years.
