High street in Lavenham
de Vere House; stone, brick, half-timbered
de Vere door moulding detail; hmmmmm...that de Vere? I thought they were from Oxford...
Leaning houses
A really bad case
Lavenham was once an important wool center, but declined after the Reformation. Everything, including war and developers, passed it by. There remain some 300 registered medeival/renaissance buildings, mostly half-timbered types, many about to fall over but for their neighbors leaning back into them.
