DESCRIPTION

Parish churches and vernacular houses of 15th century England. The churches include rood screens and early bench seats. The style is the simpler perpendicular Gothic style. The homes are timber framed. Many of these, however, have later updates. Lavenham is notable for 15th century and 16th century (Tudor) buildings.

1287 Exeter Synod

• “Alas we have heard that, on account of seats in churches, the parishioners are often vexed, two or more persons claiming one seat . . .

• We enact that no one from henceforth may claim a seat in church as his own; noble persons and patrons of churches only excepted. He who for the cause of prayer shall first enter a church, let him select a place of prayer according to his will."
