  • Lacock Abbey by Cyril
    Lacock Abbey by Cyril May PICTURESQUE Lacock Abbey lies in West Wiltshire, three miles south of Chippenham, alongside a meadow which borders the River Avon. It was founded as a religious house in 1232 by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, in memory of her deceased husband, William Longspee, the son of Henry II, and she became the first Abbess in 1240. The Abbey was the centre of some exceedingly good work, for besides those who entered the professional life of a nun, whole families could be received, as temporary guests of the Abbess if they were in need of shelter. It was also the centre of relief when there was illness in the adjoining village. The Abbess remained in control for eighteen years, when she resigned her office on account of age and infirmity, and died five years later at the age of seventy-three. A scheme for suppressing all monasteries came in the reign of Henry VIII and the Abbey was visited by the King’s Commissioners in 1535 where they found no disorder of any kind and the nuns were carrying out their work in an efficient manner. After a reprieve of several years as one of the lesser monasteries, Lacock was surrendered to the King. On July 16th, 1540, the Abby and its lands were purchased from the Crown by William Sharrington, afterwards Sir William Sharrington, who converted the conventual building to for a residence for himself. He was appointed by Henry VIII in 1546 as one of the Masters of the Mint at Bristol, and was knighted in 1547, but two years later he was arrested for fraudulent practices and sent to the Tower.
