A late 14th Century Hall House on the main square, it 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. It was restored in the 1920s/30s.
In 1975, Surrey
County Council offered the Trust Little Hall, a late C14 hall house
containing the Gayer-Anderson collection of pictures and artefacts,
together with two cottages. Before selling the cottages, the Trust was
able to restore Little Hall. It was opened to the public in 1978 and now
operates as a museum. |
