    UK-Suffolk-Lavenham

    Parsec · August 29, 2019 · UK, Voyage · 0 comments

    In A Word: 聽小星星出生的Harry Potter.

    8月Bank Holiday一直是我最期待的Long Weekend.

    陽光, 微風, 一切都剛剛好, 正是這以陰雨聞名的國度最愜意的時候.

    儘管早早聽同事推薦, 計劃了Snowdonia的行程, 但臨行三週前考慮到大概率向Wales擁擠的交通和滿滿的旅客, 最後我們還是放棄了原計劃, 將視線放到了更方便的Suffolk和East Essex.

    Lavenham不大, 到當地的Tourist Center咨詢, 和藹的老奶奶推薦了幾處建築, 其中最遠的教堂十分鐘步行距離就能到.

    正好小鎮在去Thetford Forest的路上, 便決定中途停留逛逛, 權當休息. 停留時間不長, 只繞著High St., Church St.和Lady St. 轉了一圈, 卻十分歡喜, 感覺下次有時間的話可以專門來逛一個整天.

    Lavenham市中心基本上所有的建築均建于中世紀, 因其”奇怪”的建築結構而聞名.

    在 Norman conquest后, William the Conqueror將Lavenham賜予他的親戚Aubrey de Vere. The Vere家族管理Lavenham期間(1086-1604), 大力支持發展服裝行業.

    Lavenham在15-16世紀的羊毛貿易中取得十分優異的成績, 更在15世紀末一度成為不列顛群島中最富裕的小鎮之一. 而我們看到建築也基本是在那個時間建成, 并被成功地保留了下來.

    除了在貿易史上, Lavenham有它的高光時刻, 小鎮也因為這些建築的頻繁露面, 在近20年的電影業里再次吸引住了大家的眼球. 其中最有名的Guilhall是Harry Potter父母家Potter’s Cottage的原型(出現在系列電影最後一部 The Deathly Hallows中).

    在Info Center咨詢老太太路線的時候, 她像是將一個很了不起的小秘密一樣給我推薦了一個吃Ice Cream的地方, 去了后挺後悔的, 後悔為什麼只買了3個Scoops, 太好吃了. 後來上網一查, Harley’s獲得了Great Taste Awards: Golden Fork 2019 (from East Anglia), 親證實至名歸.

    另外一個可愛的True Fact: 這裡是地球人都聽過的搖籃曲小星星作者Jane Taylor的故鄉. Jane在這個可愛的小鎮寫下<Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star>這首詩. 她的故居位於Shilling St.的Shilling Old Grange. 可惜這次時間不夠沒有去, 下次一定補上.
