In December, 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono shot much of their balloon film Apotheosis in Lavenham. They looked very cold that snow-covered day, as they sat huddled together in their black cloaks, waiting for the orange balloon to inflate. The event was featured in a BBC documentary (the Apotheosis segment starts at the 9:00 minute mark, or about 2/3 of the way through).
