A quintessential English village
There's lots to discover in Lacock village: quaint traditional stone cottages, the old workhouse, the medieval tithe barn, the old lock-up and the village church.
Top tip: Start your trip to Lacock by pausing at the window of the old shop at 2 High Street. In the late nineteenth century the building was used as a coffee tavern, then after the First World War it became a stationers and in 1966, incorporated the Post Office. It remained in the same family until it closed in the early 1980s. Miss Butler, the last resident, arranged the shop window in the style of early twentieth-century displays and it has been untouched ever since.
