LAVENHAM GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

A medieval home and a collection of curious objects / LAVENHAM

Little Hall Lavenham

Explore a timber-framed house restored as a home by the Gayer-Anderson brothers, whose collections give the rooms an individual character. The small scale invites close looking at the building as well as the furnishings. Leave time for the walled garden when the weather suits.
