Houses with an interesting history and peaceful nature

The Augustinian canon society built Englesey Abbey during the reign of Heinrich the First in the 12th century. The priests were expelled from the abbey in 1535 during the Dissolution of the monasteries. The former Priory was acquired in 1600 by Thomas Hobson, who converted it into a country house for his son-in-law, Thomas Parker. Now the house is decorated with a valuable collection of furniture, paintings, objects of art, including 37 rare clocks. In the vast landscaped gardens grow roses, dahlias, here you can find dozens of different varieties.

In 1525, the famous Peter and Paul Church was built, which is considered the highest in Britain. Its size is simply impressive, and once again show how rich the city was. The church was built with the money of Springs the most affluent merchant family Lavenham. The church is too big for the size of the village, and its towers, towering to a height of 43 meters.
