Little Hall
About This Museum
People flock to Little Hall for that classic, crooked Lavenham charm, but they stay for the stories this wonderful house tells. You're not just walking through a museum; you're stepping directly into the home of a wealthy medieval wool merchant, with low-slung beams and creaking floorboards that have witnessed centuries. It feels less like a curated exhibit and more like the family has just stepped out for a moment, leaving their lives on display. The magic is in the small details—the personal collections of the last owners, the unexpected garden oasis out back, and the palpable sense of history in every room.
Collection Highlights
The fascinating collection of samplers and antique maps left by the last residents, the stunning Arts and Crafts garden hidden behind the house, and climbing the tight spiral staircase to see the stunning timber-framed 'crown post' roof.
Visitor Information
It's right on the main Market Place in Lavenham—you can't miss its iconic, leaning facade. Just be sure to mind your head on those famously low doorways!
Architecture & Building
A stunningly preserved late medieval timber-framed house, complete with a dramatic overhang and that quintessential, charmingly crooked Tudor look Lavenham is famous for.
