History of Lacock : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Lacock
Lacock was first mentioned in the Domesday book in 1086 with a population of less than 200; with two small mills and a vineyard. The village's main attraction Lacock Abbey was founded on the manorial lands by Ela, Countess of Salisbury and established in 1232; in the reign of King Henry III. Lacock was granted a market and developed a thriving wool industry during the Middle Ages. Reybridge, and a pack horse ford, remained the only crossing points of the River Avon until the 17th century.〔(''Lacock'' ) (Wiltshire County Archives) accessed 28 September 2009〕 ==Middle Ages==
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid-16th century, Henry VIII of England sold it to Sir William Sharington, who converted it into a house starting in 1539, demolishing the abbey church. Few other alterations were made to the monastic buildings themselves: the cloisters, for example, still stand below the living accommodation and can be seen today, along with the main architecture. About 1550 Sir William added an octagonal tower containing two small chambers, one above the other; the lower one was reached through the main rooms, and was for storing and viewing his treasures; the upper one, for banqueting, only accessible by a walk across the leads of the roof. In each is a central octagonal stone table carved with up-to-date Renaissance ornament.〔Mark Girouard, ''Life in the English Country House'' 1978:106.〕 A mid-16th-century stone conduit house stands over the spring from which water was conducted to the house.〔Girouard 1978:248.〕 Further additions were made over the centuries, and the house now has various grand reception rooms.〔
