Laycock, Wiltshire

Church Street seen from near the junction with East Street, the church being behind the camera, and the building with the bay window is a bakers.
One concession to modern day living here is the motor car. Earlier in the day this street was clogged with residents' parked cars which are certainly not photogenic but I managed to find it car free during the afternoon.

St. Cyriac's Church at the end of Church Street was rebuilt in the 15th century to replace the previous Norman church. It is a grand church for such a small village but was, of course, built with money from the wool trade. Lacock may have been small but it certainly was prosperous.

Some of the fine old buildings seen from inside the churchyard with part of the Lacock Pottery peeking out from behind the right-most house.

Lacock Pottery on the left seen from the churchyard, which I understand, used to be a workhouse for the poor, in the area known as the 'Tanyard'.
We would like to know what the smaller building on the right is but we haven't been able to find out.
