Trinity Church, Long Melford, UK
Long Melford is a beautiful little village that is very close to Lavenham which was a very prosperous cloth city in the 1300 and 1400's. They made a cloth called Lavenham blue. It eventually became obsolete when other parts of Europe started producing a thinner cloth. The church was completed in 1484, during a time of great prosperity in the cloth market. The church sits on top of a hill and can be seen from miles away.
Just across the field from the church is Melford Hall, which is a 17th century Banqueting House. I wasn't able to get a good picture of Melford Hall, the picture I got was from the side and it really doesn't do it justice.
