LAVENHAM -The most beautiful village in the world | A walk round Lavenham Suffolk England
The medieval village of Lavenham is surely one of the most beautiful villages in England
We wake a look around this stunning village that is trapped in time

Lavenham Suffolk is in the civil parish and electoral ward in the Babergh district, in the county of Suffolk, England. It is noted for its Guildhall, Little Hall, 15th-century church, half-timbered medieval cottages and circular walks. In the medieval period it was among the twenty wealthiest settlements in England.

Lavenham village has a wonderful yet chequered history with many stories

St Peter & St Paul Church
The spectacular large church was built at the height of Lavenham's prosperity by Thomas Spring III in the late 15th century.

HARRY POTTER FILMING LOCATION
Lavenham Guildhall was transformed into Harry Potter's parents' derelict house and in the film, Harry visits his parents' graves and their house in Godric's Hollow. Filming in Lavenham took place in secret in January 2010 and De Vere house in Water Street also appears in the film.

De Vere House
The last house in Lavenham to be owned by the Earls of Oxford, also known as the De Vere Hunting Lodge, was one of three properties within the centre of Lavenham, attached to Lavenham Hall.

Little Hall Lavenham
Little Hall, built in the 1390s, was once home to the Causton family. Since then the house has changed a lot from being divided up to house six different families in the 1700s to being restored and used as a museum today.

Art and galleries
Lavenham is host to an array of galleries. Take a look at the Crooked House Gallery, a building full of 'wonky' charm.

Lavenham in Suffolk is widely acknowledged as the best example of a medieval wool town in England.

In Tudor times, Lavenham was said to be the fourteenth wealthiest town in England, despite its small size. Its fine timber-framed buildings and beautiful church, built on the success of the wool trade, make it a fascinating place to explore today.

Most of the buildings in Lavenham today date from the 15th century, many of these were never altered due to the fall of the weaving industry. Consequently the town is still very much on the same scale as it must have been in the 15th century.

The late 15th-century timber-framed Guild Hall overlooks and dominates the town’s market place. The hall was built by the Guild of Corpus Christi, one of three guilds founded in Lavenham to regulate the wool trade.

As well as its many historic buildings, Lavenham is also blessed with good pubs, fine places to eat and fascinating antique shops to browse around.

Long Melford, with its many antique shops and associations with the TV series ‘Lovejoy’, is close by. The towns of Sudbury and Bury St. Edmunds are also within easy reach. A little further afield you will find Dedham and Flatford Mill in the heart of Constable country.
