One of the best-preserved Tudor villages in England. Set in the heart of rural South Suffolk, it’s streets of timber-framed houses paying testament to a time when it was the 14th richest town in the country. Lavenham’s great wealth came from a thriving industry in cloth production, which reached its peak in the early sixteenth century. The magnificent late 15th century timber- framed Guild Hall, built by the Guild of Corpus Christi, overlooks and dominates the town’s market place. Inside there are exhibitions on local history, farming and industry as well as the story of the medieval woollen trade. BYchoice Estate Agents is situated within the heart of this historical village and offers a large selection of homes within Lavenham and surrounding areas. Visitors to Lavenham can visit us in Water Street and view our properties at leisure from the comfort of our office and also properties from our other offices in Sudbury, Long Melford and Clare. Lavenham village is a lively and flourishing place with many community projects taking place, including regular French markets, the rare breed motor show, Summer Carnival and Christmas market.
