The hotel dates back to the 1400's when it played a key role in Lavenham's wool trade. Today, it is a thriving Hotel where ancient oak beams and inglenook fireplaces blend with luxurious furnishings and fabrics to create the perfect ambiance for rest and relaxation. The Old Bar boasts a wonderful collection of memorabilia, including a wall signed by British and American airmen stationed at Lavenham during World War II.
