Timber Framed Building
Lavenham is noted for its 15th century church, and half-timbered medieval houses. In the medieval period it was among the 20 wealthiest settlements in England. Lavenham prospered from the wool trade in the 15th and 16th century, with the town's blue broadcloth being an export of note. The Guildhall of the wool guild of Corpus Christi stands in the centre of the village overlooking the market square. Established in 1529, most of the timber framed building seen today was constructed in the 17th century. The town was built using green wood for many of the houses and over the years as the wood aged, the buildings became distorted and out of alignment.

Taken at Lavenham, Suffolk, UK. During the reign of Henry VIII, Lavenham was the scene of serious resistence to Wolsey’s ‘Amicable Grant’, a tax being raised in England to pay for war with France. However, it was being done so without the consent of parliament. In 1525, 10,000 men from Lavenham and the surrounding villages took part in a serious uprising which threatened to spread to the nearby counties of Essex and Cambridgeshire. However, the revolt was suppressed for the King by the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, with the aid of local families.
