ENGLAND Lacock, Wiltshire (hd-video)
Lovely small village, often used as a film- or TV location (a.o. Harry Potter and Downton Abbey).
Lacock Village Wiltshire
Lacock is a village in the rural county of Wiltshire, England, 3 miles (5 km) from the town of Chippenham. The village is owned almost in its entirety by the National Trust, and attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled appearance.
The village has been used as a film and television set, notably for the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, the 2007 BBC production of Cranford. It has also made brief appearances in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Most recently, in the spring of 2012, it was a filming location of the fantasy adventure movie Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box.
Lacock Abbey : the brithplace of British photography / travel vlog 4k
Lacock Abbey is most know to be the home residency of William Henry Fox Talbot. The first photograph of latticed window was produced here in 1835. Unfortunately, calotype was never a big success as rival daguerrotype. Patented nature of calotype prevented wider adoption. Nowadays this abbey is a museum run by National Trust. There is plenty of well-preserved examples of medieval architecture which made apperance in number of Harry-Potter movies shot there.
Lacock Abbey, Grounds And Garden, Wiltshire
Lacock Abbey, dedicated to St Mary and St Bernard, was founded in 1229 by the widowed Lady Ela the Countess of Salisbury, who laid the abbey's first stone 16 April 1232, in the reign of King Henry III, and to which she retired in 1238. Her late husband had been William Longespee, an illegitimate son of King Henry II. The abbey was founded in Snail's Meadow, near the village of Lacock. The first of the nuns were veiled in 1232.
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid-16th century, Henry VIII of England sold it to Sir William Sharington, who converted it into a house starting in 1539, demolishing the abbey church.
The house eventually passed to the Talbot family. It is most often associated with amateur scientist and inventor William Henry Fox Talbot, who in 1835 made what may be the earliest surviving photographic camera negative, a view of the oriel window in the south gallery of the Abbey. Talbot's experiments eventually led to his invention of the more sensitive and practical calotype or Talbotype paper negative process for camera use, commercially introduced in 1841.
Some interior sequences in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were filmed at Lacock, including the cloister walk where Harry comes out from Professor Lockhart's room after serving detention and hears the basilisk. During four days in October 2007 Lacock was also used to film some scenes for the sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Warner Bros. announced that the spooky nights of Hogwarts were also filmed here with most of the main characters including Daniel Radcliffe.
The Abbey was one of two major locations for the 2008 film version of the historical novel The Other Boleyn Girl.
Lacock appears in the Robin Hood and the Sorcerer, Cromm Cruac and The Pretender episodes of Robin of Sherwood. It was also used in the 1995 BBC/A&E production of Pride and Prejudice.
Scenes for the BBC's historical TV serial Wolf Hall were filmed there in 2014.

TRAVEL SERIES ENGLAND: LACOCK ABBEY, WILTSHIRE, NATIONAL TRUST | TRAVELLER'S NEST NZ #TRAVEL VLOG
Lacock Abbey is an historic village in Wiltshire, 18 km from Bath.
This National Trust property is so quirky and beautiful at the same time!
The Abbey was founded in 1229 by Ela, Countess of Salisbury.
Ela became a nun after her husband, William Longespee, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, died in 1226.
The Earl was the illegitimate son of Henry II, and therefore a half brother to King Richard I and King John.
The Earl is buried at Salisbury Cathedral. The tomb with the medieval graffiti on it. The Earl and Countess played a big part in building the Cathedral of Salisbury.
It was quite common for women to become nuns in the medieval times for a whole set of reasons. It was an area where women would be safe from the world.
Ela is buried in Lacock Abbey. The inscription on her tombstone reads:
Below lie buried the bones of the venerable Ela, who gave this sacred house as a home for the nuns..
The abbey was dissolved in 1539 under the Second Suppression Act under orders of Henry VII.
The Abbey, lands and village were sold to Sir William Sharington by Henry VIII.
Sir William converted the convent into a residence. The house was built over the old cloisters, warming house and chapter house. This part of the Abbey has survived unaltered from that time. One can even still see the medieval paintings on the ceilings and the walls.
The house was built on top and to the side of it. It has several grand reception rooms and a very unusual grand hall, the former entrance.
The Tudor stable courtyard, with it's own bakehouse and brewhouse, were built from the stones of the church.
The story goes that Sir William did not like, that the village people would walk thru his woodlands to the church..so he had it demolished and used the stones to built the stable courtyard.
Most country houses of this size will have their own bake and brew houses, as the water was undrinkable...so they brewed beer to drink.
The Abbey and village ended up passed to the Talbot family thru marriage.
In 1835 William Henry Fox Talbot made a significant contribution to the development of photography.
He developed a photographic negative of the oriel window in the South gallery of the Abbey.
There is a museum on site dedicated towards his development of photography in the 19th century.
The property has been used for several TV and films, amongst others, Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice!!
There are also beautiful walled garden. We have not seen any flowers until we came back into England..so the last few weeks have been a sensory overload visiting these beautiful National Trust properties.

Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: Lacock Abbey and Village
There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility. In this episode I go to Lacock village and the Abbey, situated in Wiltshire. It is also the home of the Fox-Talbot museum for Photography, because this Victorian gentleman invented the processes for developing photo negatives.
Lacock, UK ????????
This is the village where a house was hired for the early scenes of Harry Potter. We had our lunch at The George, a traditional English pub build in the 14 century.
