Exploring Lacock Abbey

Our holiday to England was filled with beautiful manor houses, quaint villages, and flourishing gardens, so it's hard to say what was the best or loveliest place we visited...and yet I think that place was Lacock Abbey. The Abbey was founded in the 13th century as a nunnery, although in the 16th century it was sold into private hands and became a residence. So when you visit the Abbey today you feel a mix of that early religious order in the ornate cloisters, but walking into the stone building feels more like an old country seat a far cry from the stoic interior you'd expect from a religious order. If the cloister walk looks familiar then you can probably thank Harry...
