I haven't been to Lacock in years but popped by today since I was in the area. I'd forgotten what an absolutely stunning place it is for anyone interested in medieval / early modern communities; architecture; photography and more

Owned by the National Trust, Lacock Abbey is the Fox Talbot family’s quirky country house, developed over the centuries around a former 13th-Century nunnery and the birthplace of modern photography. bit.ly/432PJ9E 📸James Dobson, Andreas von Einsiedel

Who goes there? We have a new spotter sheet to borrow in the abbey to help you do some treasure hunting. How many faces can you find peering back at you from the collection?

A sneaky Scone Trip to Lacock for my Mum's birthday today, National Trust Scones. The scone was good, if a bit crumbly, and had mixed spice in it which was nice. There was a tree sculpture which looked like a giant ice cream cone, although mine came in a tub. Lots of love Sconepal Ole x

Autumn days at Lacock: autumnal shades, inviting corners and brief glimpses of sun. Can you believe these pics were taken within the space of an hour on the same day?
