Lavenham is the most unspoiled medieval town in the country, and the magnificent timber-framed Guildhall building with its jettied upper floor and oriel windows dominates the market place. Built by Corpus Christi, one of three guilds founded in Lavenham to regulate the flourishing wool trade, the building later became Lavenham’s town hall, and variously a prison, workhouse, wool store and World War Two housing for evacuees. It now contains a museum detailing Lavenham’s history, and the story of the wool trade.
