National Trust-run meeting house for medieval guilds with a courtyard garden, tearoom and gift shop.
I recently visited Lavenham Hall, a National Trust property, and it was a fascinating experience. The hall, which is over 400 years old, is steeped in history and filled with a wide array of artefacts. Walking through the building, you can see various equipment from the past centuries, as it once served as a prison. This unique aspect adds a layer of intrigue to the visit. The hall itself is beautifully preserved, and the historical significance is palpable in every room. After exploring, I enjoyed a delightful break at the on-site cafe. The food and drinks were excellent, making it a perfect spot to relax and reflect on the visit. Overall, Lavenham Hall is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in exploring a well-preserved piece of the past. Highly recommended!
Right in the centre of the town, so its easy to access. The building has a lot of history and care was taken to tell the story of each era of the building, with personal accounts and artefacts. I liked that it was a museum where you could touch examples. It took us about an hour to two hours to get through the whole building and take in the history and the stories. There is a small shop and a cafe at the ground level.
As a wheelchair user, I'm always a bit apprehensive about visiting older buildings. However, the Guildhall in Lavenham was very accommodating. Obviously you cannot see the upper floors but there is a virtual reality option that you can sit at the table downstairs and have a good look around. There is a ramp available to enter the tea room and gardens and the library and shop is all accessible. A Volunteer by the name of Don was particularly helpful.
Nice house to visit, a bit too small and not much to see inside to justify PS9 ticket. The external decorations are excellent
Absolutely stunning , so many old tudor medieval buildings , great coffee shops , tea rooms , information, walks .
Love this little village with its sloping houses. Some very odd shapes and architecture but beautiful and a lovely walk through the square and streets.
