High Street, SUDBURY, CO10 9PY

Me being the crooked man. Only a week after having a very painful ingrowing toenail removed, here I am in Lavenham, slightly crooked still, admiring the town's unique architecture.

Number 57 High Street is a 16th or 17th century house, gable to the street. Timber framed and plastered with the ground floor underbuilt beneath the formerly jettied first storey. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1285310 Lavenham is a village in Suffolk about 5 miles north east of Sudbury. The village has Saxon origins but is best known as a medieval wool town. Granted a market charter in 1257, the village prospered in the 15th century and many buildings date to that period. The town grew so fast that many of the houses were built in haste with green timber. As the wood dried, the timbers warped causing the houses to bend at unexpected angles. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long and the cloth industry declined so no one had money to rebuild their homes and Lavenham’s crooked houses were left as they were.
