Description

Those in the UK may well have seen Cranford a TV series set in the fictional village of Cranford a delightful period piece, but many of the scenes were shot in Lacock where it has been said "The hands of time bewitched stand still" Lacock is an enchanting and captivating village, in Wiltshire, almost owned completely by the National Trust. Like this beautiful Inn the streets are full of buildings dating back to the 13th Century, the village church of St Cyriac dates to the Medieval period but there was a church here in Saxon times. Wander down the lane from here and find the pack horse bridge, and then the Medieval bridge over the River Avon. Every Century is represented from the 13th to the 19th and is pure joy for artists, and photographers and in view of the fact modern photography saw the birth of it here in Lacock Manor where Fox Talbot in September 1840 discovered the phenomenon of the latent image.

What a beautiful place where you grew up and played as a youth.....Did it enable you to stay as a child longer, rather than moving on to Adolescents.

Daniel you are just fantastic - I've never seen pictures like that. It look alike an illustration from a fairy tale. I've to visit South-west England in the nearest future. My wife is British and grew up in Dover so we have to take a trip.
