The village is mentioned in the Doomsday Book and has been used as a film set for, amongst others, Cranford, Pride and Prejudice and a couple of the Harry Potter films. The older houses in the village date from the 18th century.
The medieval church
Lacock Abbey was established in 1232. Not an Abbey as such now, but a country house built on the site of a former nunnery.
Lovely bookshelves built into the wall
And a small dining nook!

Trying to spot a bit of Harry Potter stuff here, possibly Godrick’s Hollow bits?

I’m not absolutely sure, I think they may have used the cloisters.
