Lavenham in popular culture
Lavenham's Market Square was a location for the 1968 Vincent Price film Witchfinder General. In 1986 a more contemporary film Playing Away, about a visiting cricket team from Brixton, was also filmed there. The Market Square is the setting of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1970 film Apotheosis. Other filmmakers who have used the village as a location include Stanley Kubrick and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In 2010, under conditions of strict secrecy, scenes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2 were filmed there.
Lavenham is also the setting for the final episode of the mid-1990s BBC TV drama Lovejoy. The episode, which aired in December 1994, was titled 'Last Tango in Lavenham'.
It is believed that the distorted, or "crooked", appearance of many of the town's buildings inspired the poem, "A Crooked Little Man."
