St Cyriac's Church (Lacock, Wilshire)

 Grade I Listed (UK), anglican church

Although it is possible that there was a small Saxon church here it is definite that a Norman church was built towards the end of the 11th century by the two landowners, Edward of Salisbury (Lacock) and William of Eu (Lackham). In the 14th century there was some rebuilding of the church, but prosperity through the wool and cloth trade brought about the great rebuilding of the church in the 15th century and created the Perpendicular church on a cruciform plan that we see today. In 1604 the recessed octagonal tower was either built or rebuilt. A little later the south annex, or 'Cottage' was built. There was a drastic restoration in 1861 by A.W. Blomfield which saw the raising of the transept roofs. In 1902 the chancel was sympathetically remodelled by Sir Harold Brakspear as a memorial to the photographic pioneer, William Henry Fox Talbot.
