Ancient Village Needs Renovation

(OP) -1- This ancient Suiiolk vil- lage said to be mentioned in the Domesday Book and the place where Jane Taylor wrote "Twinkle, twinkle little star," is fighting hard to keep its name on the map,

Since it lost its grip on the cloth-making industry in the 17th. century it gradually became a show place. but it is feared the quaint houses, some of them 14th. century. will cease to be even that unless 24,000 ($10,000) for renovation is found quickly.

Col. T. G. Gayer. president o! s committee for the preservation oi Lavenham, said: “We are get- ting our contributions from ail over the colmtry, the United Btatos and Canada. But we have some way to go yet before we can save the place."

The National ‘trust hes offered

to take over but the village must provide some of the money needed to buy it. -

Foreign visitors will be encour- aged this summer.

‘They can get food in e ten..- century inn." said the colonel. “There is still .one old family who makes tweeds on e hand loom. Un- fortunstoly all the other looms now. have been broken up.

“Lavenham has never indulged in commercialism. although it is probably one o! the most outstand- ing examples in the country o! a Tudor
