Lavenham

A medieval village in Suffolk, England famous for its impressive fifteenth Century church, half-timbered medieval cottages and circular walk. The population of the town has never exceeded 2000. In the medieval period it was among the 20 wealthiest towns in England.
Most people are drawn to this attractive Suffolk town by the profusion of half-timbered medieval cottages, beloved of calendar photographers.The older buildings are centred around the market place, with its 16th century Guildhall and still earlier market cross. The market cross was the scene of bear-baiting contests during the late medieval and Tudor periods.
