Lacock Village is believed to have begun life as a Saxon settlement – its name originating from the word ‘lacuc’ meaning ‘little stream’, in reference to Bide Brook which runs through the village.
In 1232, Lacock Abbey was founded on the village’s manorial lands by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, and thanks to her efforts, the village was granted a market and developed a thriving woolen industry throughout the Middle Ages.
