In Hall Street, Oakleigh and the adjoining shop were originally built, probably in the 17th century, as a timber framed and stuccoed house with a crosswing on the right. The crosswing was heightened and the whole refronted in gault brick in the 19th century. There are two shop bay windows, the one on the left recently replacing a carriage entrance. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1033682 Long Melford is a large village in Suffolk near the border with Essex, some 3 miles north of Sudbury. The village gained its name because it stretches for two and three quarter miles essentially along a single road. There is evidence of occupation from every period from the Mesolithic. The village contains two stately homes, Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall, is home to one of the largest and richest "wool churches" in East Anglia with fine flushwork, and a superb almshouse founded in 1573.
