Country house with monastic roots, once home to William Henry Fox Talbot
As the world comes out to play in August, there’s something about the warm breeze that makes the smell of cut grass and seasonal herbs all that more exciting. Find out what else is happening this summer holiday.
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.
