A visitors guide to the historic village of Laxfield in mid-Suffolk.
Laxfield has many timber-framed buildings as well as thatched cottages,
with over fifty of them having been listed as being of historic and
architectural interest.
The parish church of All Saints, which used to be thatched, has a
wonderful hammer beam roof as well as a fine Seven Sacrament
font. If you look carefully you can see where the thatch used to
overhang the gables before the roof was replaced by slate.
The 16th century Guildhall houses a museum which is only open on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons in summer. Here you will find
insights into a bygone age. With exhibits of domestic tools, a Victorian
kitchen a village shop and a costume room.
Inside the church is a memorial stone to a shoemaker John Noyes who was
burned at the stake in 1577. There are two good village inns both
located close to the church.
