| Lavenham, Suffolk. (3) | Location map |
|
On the edge of the Market Square, in Barn Street, is Little Hall; a late 14th Century Medieval Hall House first built as a family home and
workplace. It was enlarged and improved around 1450, modernised around 1550 then further extended around 1700.
It is now open to the public and the entrance fee is actually good value.

More splendid half timbered houses in Water Street.
Note the jettied house on the left and the somewhat wonky first-floor beam, and the roof, on the house beyond the yellow house.

Some more historic buildings in the High Street including the Crooked House which is the tall narrow building in the centre.
I don't know why this particular building should be so named as most of the timber framed buildings in Lavenham seem to be crooked in one way or another.

High Street, Lavenham.
Did somebody say crooked? The appearance of this house on the corner of High Street and Market Lane has nothing to do with camera angles. It really does lean out like that.
