The Crooked House, Lavenham

‘There was a Crooked man, he walked a Crooked mile…’ and his story started here.

Dating from 1395, The Crooked House in Lavenham is said to be the inspiration for the old English nursery rhyme There was a Crooked Man. Today The Crooked House is home to two ‘Crooked Men’ - husbands Alex and Oli - who share the 600-year story of their ancient home through award-winning, immersive experiences.

Described by Country Life as “one of the world’s most photographed homes” and recently named “the most Instagrammable place in Suffolk”, it’s easy to see why. The fairytale façade of The Crooked House makes it a ‘must-see’ historic house for visitors from around the world.

If you’d like to step inside, the Crooked Men host popular theatrical house tours to share the 600-year story of their magical home with everyone. Tours run on selected dates throughout the year, so check crookedhouselavenham.com to book your tickets.

The Crooked Men also host Black Tie Dinners - award-winning immersive dining experiences, inviting guests to dine in their candlelit medieval home. Visit crookedhouselavenham.com for upcoming Black tie Dinner dates and ticket details.
