A few days ago, we
visited Lacock, a charming, historical Wiltshire village.
Lacock Abbey – In the
1800's this was the home of W. H. Fox Talbot, renowned for his
contribution to the invention of photography, producing the first
photographic negative. The abbey cloisters were the setting for some
of the scenes in one of the Harry Potter films.
The village itself is a
much sought after location for films and period TV dramas, including
Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Cranford and many more.
A very quick plein air
sketch of part of the abbey using pencil and a watercolour marker –
later I added a bit more detail with a fine liner pen.

This unusual window alcove was added to my journal at home, using one of my photos as reference.
