This rug and carpet showroom in Little St Mary's is the former White Hart Inn which closed in 1989. The building is early 19th century, possibly with an earlier core, timber framed and stuccoed. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1033676 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.
