Description We went for a wander around the Tudor village of Lavenham in Suffolk today. I'm no architectural historian but I'd guess this is Tudor-ish

Nice capture

My ancestors came from Lavenham Most of the village is predominantly Tudor, from what i can remember, although the church is alot older than that.

I had a hunch it might be You're lucky living close to it, it's a good hour and a half from where I live to Lavingham. Glad you liked the photo, I definately want to go back when the weather is a bit better to get somemore done

Have a feeling much of Lavenham's whealth and architecture goes back a century or so before the tudors...those wool mercants did very well out of the black death. Nevermind, this is a great subject and a place I really want to go...cool shot that really displays the architecture well.

I don't doubt you are right I'm definatley heading back at some point - on a day when it's not raining or overcast so I'm not sure when that's going to be exactly Glad you like the shot.

See, what do I know about photography. Cannot tell the difference from Sepia and a common o' garden colour filter. .

Some say I was there at the grand opening of the Pyramids.
