Lacock Abbey, Witshire
Lacock Abbey was founded in 1229 as a nunnery of the Augustine Order. It was converted into a house following the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII. It's biggest claim to fame probably dates from 1835 when the occupant William Henry Fox-Talbot took the first photograph created by a negative and positive image. Today the Abbey is the property of the National Trust and houses the Fox Talbot Museum which exhibits items connected with photography from its inception to the current day. Well worth a visit!
