Clare UK - History of Clare - The Woollen Industry During the Middle Ages Clare was a prosperous town, and its main trade was that of clothmaking. Suffolk as a county was famed for the making of broad cloth, and in the fifteenth century the industry spread from the towns to the country districts. Sudbury was a centre of the industry (it was mentioned as this in a Ipswich customs book in the late thirteenth century); and before the end of the Middle Ages places such as Long Melford, Lavenham and the Waldingfields had attained great prosperity. In their churches they have notable monuments of the munificence of their clothiers.
