Crooked timber-framed house in Lavenham - Lavenham

Lavenham is one of the most visited villages in Suffolk. This gorgeous town is filled with Tudor townhouses and crooked cottages. Take a walk down the main street and you will see plenty of these fabulous old timber-framed buildings.

We stopped in Lavenham to have a look around, took copious amounts of photos of houses that looked like they were about to fall down, and had some lunch at the historic Swan hotel.

I think there's a crooked teahouse in Windsor too, do they build them crooked on purpose to be tourist "traps"?
