Lacock Abbey
Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. The crucible of photography - William Henry Fox Talbot, who invented the calotype process, lived and worked here. It has been a location for the Harry Potter movies; other films have been shot in the village. The museum, gardens and village are probably more interesting than the house, and the home-made cake in the tea rooms is worth the visit alone. However, the light in this corridor seemed worth making a photograph.
The Abbey was founded in 1229. In 1539, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was converted into a house and the abbey church was demolished. The cloisters survived underneath the new development. About 1550 an octagonal tower was added. Further extensive alterations were made in the 1750s, as evidenced by the chimneys being evacuated to the garden and converted into columns supporting a sphinx.
