Lacock Village near Beechfield House Luxury Hotel

 
Beechfield House Hotel
Beechfield House Hotel
... dating back to the 13th century. Lacock is, of course, renowned for outdoor performances of well known operas and for the popular courses for choral and consort singers. Lacock is also the location of the BBC television series Cranford.
 
The wool industry was responsible for Lacock thriving in the middle ages. The village was located on the road from London to Bristol and the River Avon with access to the sea. It therefore played a pivotal role in the movement of wool and cloth.

Lacock village also owed much of its medieval position to Lacock Abbey, founded in 1232. It was one of the few monasteries not to be destroyed during the reformation, when it was bought and converted into a private house. The consequence was that much of the original architectural features have survived in tact, the fine medieval cloisters, sacristy, chapter house and monastic rooms.

William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–77), inventor of the negative/positive photographic process, lived at the Abbey and there’s now a The Photographic Museum that commemorates his achievements as a former resident.

In 1944, the owners of the Abbey and village gave it all to the National Trust. There’s also a botanic garden that reflects Fox Talbot’s scientific approach to plants.

Lacock and its Abbey are now frequently used as a location for TV and film productions, including Pride and Prejudice, Moll Flanders, Emma, Harry Potter, and the previously mentioned Cranford.

Beechfield House country hotel is so near Lacock, not to make a visit would be a serious lost opportunity.

Other places to visit in Wiltshire include Bath, Bowood House, Bradford-on-Avon, Caen Hill Locks, Calne, Cheddar Caves, Chippenham, Devizes, Corsham Court, Longleat Safari Park, Stonehenge, The Cotswolds, Wookey Hole
