The timber framed Guildhall overlooking the market square at Lavenham, Suffolk, England. The Guildhall was built around 1529 by the Guild of Corpus Christi, one of three medeival wool guilds in Lavenham, although most of the building seen today dates from the 17th century.

The Guildhall was restored by Sir Cuthbert Quilter in 1887. Then in 1951, his son, along with Lavenham Preservation Society, gave the building to the National Trust. Today it contains a small local museum.

The silvery-gray colour of the timbers is the result of lime washing.
