Lavenham Guild Hall

We had been to Lavenham Guild Hall before, but as Steve was content to look after Rocco, we decided to go in again (shame about the scaffolding!):

There were a lot more items on display than last time we visited:

A number of contraptions to do with textile production – a key industry in this area several hundred years ago.  I think we’d seen the loom before, in any event I didn’t photograph it:

There were a large number of dyed samples.  I particularly liked this embroidered piece with the names of the dyes on it.  There was some cute knitted bunting in the entrance hall, duly labelled, which I could’ve sworn I took a picture of…

There were a number of other pieces of art dotted about.  It wasn’t always clear which was the art and which were the artifacts, but I liked this woven wall hanging.

There were various wood carvings among the pieces, including this rather wet collection of spoons and bowls in the garden.  Random!
