Formerly known as The Laurels, this large, late 19th century house in Hall Street is the Melford Court Care Home. Built in gault brick the house rises at the rear to a large open arcaded cupola with a pyramid roof. The doorway has a fine shell hood. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1036556 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.
