The High Street of Lacock

Lacock is a village in Wiltshire, England, three miles from the town of Chippenham. Most of the village is owned by the National Trust, and attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled appearance. Most of the houses are 18th century or earlier in construction. There is a 14th century tithe barn, a medieval church, and an inn dating from the 15th century. The village has been used as a film and television set, notably for the 1990s BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. Close by is Lacock Abbey, also owned by the National Trust, who market them together as "Lacock Abbey, Fox Talbot Museum & Village".
