Crooked timber-framed medieval wool town.
Often called England’s best-preserved medieval wool town, Lavenham is a crush of timber-framed houses that lean at all angles, many barely altered since the cloth trade made the place rich in the 1400s. At its heart are a Tudor guildhall on the market place and one of the grandest parish churches in the country, its tower paid for with wool money. Sudbury station is about 9km south-west.
