Quintessentially English

We visited the English countryside at the weekend and came to a village 3 miles from the town of Chippenham-'Lacock', a beautiful chocolate box village steeped in history.

There is a 14th-century tithe barn, a medieval church, and an inn dating from the 15th century[citation needed] and an 18th-century lock-up.
The village has been used as a film and television set, notably for the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, the 2007 BBC production of Cranford.
