It is from Lavenham comes another familiar phase, from a nursery rhyme, “there was a crooked man, who lived in a crooked house”. The Crooked House can be found in High Street, the road which originally joined the manors of Overhall and Netherhall, the first two manors of the de Veres. It is one of Lavenham's more famous landmarks, and often features in pictures of the town. Built in 1425, it is now an art gallery featuring a variety of local artists, jewellers and sculptors.
