The stable courtyards, dating from the mid-16th century and built by Sir William Sharington, whose descendants have been connected with Lacock Abbey ever since.

The composition isn't perfect on this - there were a number of cars parked around the courtyard, and try as I might, I couldn't get it just right...if I kept all of the window at right, I got half a car in shot as well...cut out the car, and I lose half the window....I thought it better to go with the latter and decided to keep all vehicular modernity out of the shot
