<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> I am wondering about the Lattice House in King's Lynn, situated on Chapel</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> Street by Market Lane, in Jews Lane Ward.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">></span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> It looks to me very, very much like a building of Northern Germany, and I</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> wonder if there's a Hanseatic connection. Or is it typical of 16th-century</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> buildings in Norfolk?

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">And from Northern Germany I only know the square-shaped panels. The</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">elongated panels of Lattice House seem to fit better into the English</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">From: R. F.

<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Yes, Marcus, timber-framing is know very widely, but Northern Germany has its own array of styles. The "typically" English style, as exemplified by the pictures of Holborn and Wormshill on the page to which you referred us (and also here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2wdssw">http://tinyurl.com/2wdssw</a>) is rather different from the North German style. Probably not as a matter of coincidence, it is pretty close to the Norman style as exemplified by the the picture of Pont-Auderner on the same page (and also here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/39othl">http://tinyurl.com/39othl</a> and here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3xv27s">http://tinyurl.com/3xv27s</a>). Note the narrow brickwork sections versus the more square-like ones in Northern Germany. Southwestern (Alemannic) German styles are not very different from the Norman and English styles (e.g., <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2ko5qq">http://tinyurl.com/2ko5qq</a>), and east of them there are the for curvy and ornate Southern Frankish and Bavarian styles (e.g., <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2jr2rq">http://tinyurl.com/2jr2rq</a>).</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The picture of Schwerin (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/3ytuw8">http://tinyurl.com/3ytuw8</a>) is an example of one North German style.
