Holiday Cottages in Lavenham
A picturesque village in the heart of Suffolk’s countryside, Lavenham may be small but its historical status in England is notorious.
The wool trade of the 15th and 16th centuries put rural Lavenham on the map and elevated it to a position of extreme wealth – something which culminated in the village constructing the impressive Wool Church of St Peter and Paul, the Guildhall, and more.

An Introduction to Lavenham
Pastel colours, wonky windows, and ornate structures line the streets of Lavenham. Its selection of traditional and independent stores makes walking up and down its small high street a charming experience, while the path up to and around the church is made all the more impressive by the swathes of countryside and the charm of the church bells.
Because Lavenham is well positioned with regards to transport in and out of Suffolk, it is regarded as an ideal day trip or a place around which to base your Suffolk stay. So, what should you look out for when visiting Lavenham?
Exploring Lavenham’s History
Considered the best-preserved medieval town in England, Lavenham opens itself to historical tours and sightseers all year round.
Once a wool town, and notably one of the wealthiest settlements in England during the Medieval period, Lavenham retains its historical prominence and interest because of its look – and the simple fact that not much has changed around the village for hundreds of years. Despite the arrival of new businesses and independent shops, Lavenham still runs a traditional award winning butcher shop and a bakery, and hosts tours across its splendid and extravagant church sites.
Many of the structures around Lavenham appear as they did decades ago, with the Guildhall and Little Hall attracting particular interest. And for those who aren’t as into history, or who want a break from the chocolate box aesthetic of this parish village, countless footpaths and walkways run through and surround Lavenham, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of Suffolk’s wider countryside.
