A tale of two tables, behind the scenes at Lacock Abbey with the National Trust

Lacock Abbey, the birthplace of photography, is one of the most filmed and photographed of all National Trust places. You may recognise it from Wolf hall or the Harry Potter films but it still has a few secrets hidden away. Join curator Andy Cochrane on this exclusive tour and discover the hidden turret with its mysterious carvings - do they represent art? Superstition? Religion? or all of those things and more.

We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference. Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.

Beautiful, my first visit today I was enchanted.

A kind of shrine for photography lovers, Lacock Abbey retains a special magic in being the first structure in Britain, and one of the first in the world, whose image was captured in a camera.

How can an international person with strong English and Celtic heritage, help to support the National Trust? These places of historic interest are so vitally important. Thank you so much for sharing.🌺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪
