The 16th Century Guildhall in Lavenham is a wonderful timber-framed building in the centre of a town which still holds a great deal of its late medieval character. Timber-framed buildings in whites, yellows and pinks abound, and at its heart is the Guildhall on the market square. This National Trust property is well preserved, and the little details such as...

Contained a very interesting historical account of Lavenham throught the centuries. Lovely building and full of atmosphere. We were staying at the Angel Hotel and the building looked very impressive. Well worth a visit and nice cup of tea as well.

Well laid-out museum that takes you through the history of Lavenham from the Stone Age onwards. Children are catered for too as they can dress up in period clothes. Plenty to see, though what sticks in my mind most are the looms, the book about natural dyes and the mummified cat. The admission price includes the garden complete with an... More

The National Trust has excelled again and presented this wonderful building to the general public. The displays were educational and well laid out. The cafeteria maintains the high standard the NT is renowned for.
