24th January 2015    

It was a lovely sunny day when we visited Lacock Abbey NT . The National Trust owns the village as well, and it has been the setting for films etc, as it is unspoilt. Most of the houses are 16th & 17th century.

The abbey was established in 1232, but was turned into a house after the dissolution of the monasteries in Tudor times c.1540S1054864 copy
