The Crooked House
Built in 1395, The Crooked House in Lavenham, England, is said to be the inspiration for the famous nursery rhyme, There was a Crooked Man.
Described by Country Life as “one of the world’s most photographed homes”, The Crooked House’s fairytale façade makes it an Instagram favourite at the heart of Britain’s best-preserved medieval village.
