Lacock Abbey. The Abbey was founded in the 13th century as an Augustinian nunnery, and later passed into the hands of the Talbot family. It is most famous today as the home of William Henry Fox Talbot, who in 1835 made the earliest known surviving example of a photographic negative. William BANKS came from the adjacent village of Lacock.
