A print to
make your own.
The narrow portrait format follows the tower from the churchyard to the parapet. Pale vertical lines frame the dark flint, and the traceried openings punctuate its ascent. There is a satisfying balance between its massive form and the delicacy of the detail.

In my words.
In Lavenham, I find myself moving between the great scale of the church and the detail close at hand.
I wrote about the way early light brought its patterned surfaces to life. This portrait follows the tower’s upward movement: dark flint, pale edges, tracery and sky.
The building carries the history of the cloth trade in its fabric. The de Vere family and the wealthy Spring cloth merchants helped fund its rebuilding.
The whole form draws me towards it. Then a small carved detail changes the way I see the whole.
An ambition written into the skyline.
The tower was completed in 1525 and rises to about 43 metres. Its knapped flint and clasping buttresses give that height a richly patterned surface.
Inside, the same sense of rhythm continues through the piers and arches. Looking from one scale to another is part of the pleasure of being here.
