Lavenham Church

Lavenham's Church of St Peter and St Paul is probably the last of the great Suffolk 'wool churches', completed in 1530 - just before the reformation.

There has been a church on this site since Saxon Times, however the glorious building of cathedral-like proportions that we have today is mainly dating from around 1525 at the height of Lavenham's period of prosperity as a wool-cloth manufacturing town. Although the chancel dates from c1340, and this replaced and earlier wooden church. The church, which incorporates a wealth of carving in both oak

and stone, was financed by the Earl of Oxford - Lord of the Manor - and a number of wealthy cloth merchants, including the immensely rich Thomas Spring III. http://www.achurchnearyou.com/lavenham-st-peter-st-paul/
