Schoolchildren And Medieval House

Schoolchildren and mothers walk in the rain past the medieval Little Hall in Lavenham, on 9th July 2020, in wool town Lavenham, Suffolk, England. Little Hall is a late 14th Century hall house on the main square, its story mirrors the history of Lavenham over the centuries. First built in the 1390s as a family house and workplace, it was enlarged, improved and modernised in the mid 1550s, and greatly extended later. By the 1700s it was giving homes to six families and was restored in the 1920s/30s. The wool trade was already present by the 13th century, steadily expanding as demand grew. By the 1470s Suffolk produced more cloth than any other county.
