Country house with monastic roots, once home to William Henry Fox Talbot, inventor of the photographic negative
Feel at home in Lacock by bringing your slippers and relaxing in a comfy chair, reading a book, or writing postcards by the fire - and you'll be helping us to protect the wooden floors in this historic family home.
The Abbey, located at the heart of the village within its own woodland grounds, is a quirky country house of various architectural styles, built upon the foundations of a former nunnery. Visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister court, giving a sense of the Abbey's monastic past.
The museum celebrates the achievements of former Lacock resident, William Henry Fox Talbot, famous for his contributions to the invention of photography.
