 拉文汉姆

Paul King

萨福克郡的拉文汉姆被广泛认为是英格兰中世纪羊毛镇的最佳范例。

在都铎时代,拉文汉姆据说是英格兰第十四个最富有的城镇,尽管它的面积不大。 它精美的木结构建筑和美丽的教堂建立在羊毛贸易的成功之上,使它成为今天一个迷人的探索之地。

虽然拉文汉姆可以追溯到撒克逊时代,但它最著名的是中世纪的羊毛镇。 它在1257年获得了市场特许权,并开始出口其著名的蓝色宽布,远至俄罗斯。

在14世纪,爱德华三世鼓励英国的纺织业,拉文汉姆开始繁荣起来。 然而在16世纪末,科尔切斯特的荷兰难民开始编织更轻、更便宜、更时尚的布,拉文汉姆的毛纺贸易开始失败。

今天,拉文汉姆的大部分建筑都是15世纪的,其中许多建筑由于纺织业的衰落而从未被改变。 因此,该镇的规模仍然与15世纪时的规模非常相似。

15世纪末的木质结构的公会大厅俯瞰并主导着镇上的市场。 大厅由基督圣体公会建造,是拉文汉姆为管理羊毛贸易而成立的三个公会之一。 大厅门柱上雕刻的猖獗的狮子是公会的标志。 今天,里面有关于当地历史、农业和工业的展览,以及《圣经》故事。中世纪的毛织品贸易。

除了众多的历史建筑,拉文汉姆还拥有良好的酒馆、精美的餐饮场所和迷人的古董店,可以四处逛逛。 萨福克郡的这一部分以其历史悠久的房屋和美丽的村庄而闻名:例如斯托克-内兰、布伦特-埃利、蒙克斯-埃利和切尔斯沃斯。

长梅尔福德(Long Melford)附近有许多古董店,并与电视剧《爱乐之城》有关。 萨德伯里(Sudbury)和布里-圣埃德蒙兹(Bury St. Edmunds)等城镇也近在咫尺。 再远一点,你会发现位于康斯特布尔国家中心的戴德姆和弗莱福德米尔。
