Fodor's Expert Review Lavenham Guildhall

Also known as the Guildhall of Corpus Christi, this higgledy-piggledy timber-frame building dating from 1529 dominates Market Place, an almost flawlessly preserved medieval square. Upstairs, exhibitions cover the lives of the historical figures who worked in the local agriculture, the wool trade, and Lavenham's old prison, although just looking around the building itself is worth the admission charge.
