Pink and thatched makes flint, brick and slate look rather dowdy!

38 - 43, Church Street, Lavenham
In a place of many nationally listed buildings, these are not. Six dwellings with three front doors, each with two numbers and two letter boxes. Are they almshouses?

Lavenham features [6]
A fine carved wooden pillar, adjacent to the church.
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.

Lavenham: walking a crooked mile (1)
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.
