English Medieval Abbey and Village, Lacock

Come with us on a stroll around the timeless village of Lacock, in the
heart of Wiltshire.

Lacock abbey was a nunnery of the Augustinian order founded in the 13th century by Ela, countess of Salisbury. It was fortified during the English civil war, surrendering in 1645, and now houses a wonderful collection of old books and paintings.

In 1835 the house made photographic history when William Henry Fox Talbot photographed a window, one of the first negatives ever taken. Its ancient cloisters have since become famous as the halls of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Lacock’s charmingly wonky timber framed and thatched houses have remained unchanged for centuries, and have featured in many films and tv shows, including Downton Abbey, Pride & Prejudice, and Wolf Hall.

Beautiful unspoilt area, easy to roll back the years & picture the people who would have lived there originally. What a place to live, I'd love to see inside the houses & probably would need to duck quite a bit!
I can see why it's popular for filming, thank you so much for showing us this lovely village.

Amazing video, guys! I love old British architecture. It's as though it reminds me of a past life or something like that. The only down side of the video is the narration volume. It's a bit too low. I had to turn the volume of my computer up. But otherwise, amazing work.

Beautiful. Tranquil and peaceful. I'd love to visit sometime. Not too far for me because I live in Dorset.
