Wow Richard & Julia, what a beautiful place with those lovely buildings great filming and commentary, I have really enjoyed watching this series, and Julia’s face explaining about the cow pat bless her, shame the boot scrapper wasn’t closer lol
Beautiful and brilliant. Trees, topiary, buildings, horses, etc.. enchanting. What a memorable village. Ps Richard not ignorance…..only learning curves . You are teaching us as well as you go along. Also cows amazing and the “Pat” ha ha
I discovered you by chance a few months ago by typing in Midhurst. Watched and was immediately enchanted. You remind me off the Great Poet Laureate John Betjeman is my favourite poet. You may remember back in the middle sixties John Betjeman did a series for Shell Petroleum on BBC 2. Thanks for your Channel.
As always Richard another very interesting talk and video staring you and the lovely Julia. Back in the 60s when I first got interested in photography, I heard about Lacock as being the birth place of photography and actually went down there from my home at the time in Sutton Surrey to take some photos of my own, from memory there were not so many tourists back then.
Thank you Richard and Julia for bringing back those memories of my visit 44 years ago. I am tempted to return and take it in at a slower pace, as I realized you saw more of it than I did and I had a feeling that you would enjoy it. Wonderfully filmed and edited.
These longer videos are really entertaining, Richard and Julia! I visited Lacock a couple of years ago, and of course made a pilgrimage to Lacock abbey, one of the birthplaces of photography, being into photography and having done it professionally in the past.;. It being a Sunday, I visited the church, and actually attended the morning service!
It has been a brilliant series so far. I've not been able to comment until now but I have really enjoyed your shenanigans and the production is marvellous.
What beautiful buildings. You would be surprised how cheap it is to rent one of these buildings if it’s owned by The National Trust, the rent them via their website.
Every time Julia put her head down, I got a shot of Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. My favourite version, Colin Firth (be still my beating heart) was partially filmed at Lacock. So well done Julia for your period hairstyle 😂😉.
So enjoyable - and amusing ! I've visited Lacock ( NT member for years) but couldn't remember when so looked back at my photos and it was 2005 unbelievably , 16 years and seems like yesterday. Even then I remember thinking that most of the visitors were there only because of Harry Potter .Such a beautiful place obviously remains in the memory but I do need to revisit.
Old villages exude a historic energy that not everyone is susceptible to, but, fortunately, you have conveyed an exquisite aura, within the cinematic event presented here, which expresses, not only the intrinsic zeitgeist encapsulated by the baroque significance of the film makers art, but also creates a bloody good video!
Loved that one, glad I subscribed to your channel. Very professionally done I think, it's been a total success , the van, perfect for sheltering in. I can see a see a lot of work has gone into this series of films, well done both of you.
I love beautiful Laycock, I went there on a pottery course many years ago. The course was run by the B&B ownwers just behind the church and next to the cottage they used as Harry Potter’s birth place in the film. I had a lovely time, the only holiday I ever took by myself.
Lacock has been used as the location of numerous Film and TV productions including Harry Potter, Wolf Hall, Cranford, Downton Abbey, Pride & Prejudice.
Good to see you out and about! Been busy recovering from open heart surgery which would not have been necessary if I had stopped smoking and exercised more like Richard. Still unable to walk further then end of parking lot but once I am, I will be walking a lot more!
I figured that Lacock was pronounced Laycock. But I would venture to say that the snail eaters from that country next door to you would pronounce it Le cock.🐌 🐌 🐌😝😂
love the village was near to where I growing up, did you drive in to Lacock thought Sandy Lane the cottages are so lovely my late mum was a local nurse to the area and allways want to buy one never got one on her wages
Have you visited Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds? That might also give you a challenge for your "wanting to live" location. It feels like it has soul too.
It’s not impossible for both grandparents to be born in that same house and also be unrelated. It wasn’t unusual for poorer families to rent one or two rooms in a cottage/house with another family or families renting other rooms. It could be how his grandparents met, they grew up in the same house. Some of my family were weavers in Wiltshire back in the 18c and that’s how they lived. The loom would have been beside the window for the best light.
I’m very surprised the bald explorer had never heard of Lacock:) I’ve never been myself (I’m ooop north) but know it’s a very famous tourist area. Ps…is Julia a relative (I’m a newbie, enjoying your videos👍🏼
Hi Richard David Chave here as you know I lived in Corsham which was not far from Lacock I remember when a friend and I went to visit a Hall one Christmas Time which was attended quite a few in the village and remembered when time he asked how a person (I will call John because I have forgotten his name) was and this person whom my friend for the sake of opinion said how are you John ? Which his reply was By fitting many syllables into one word which spelled oooohhaaarrawwrougite ( you will understand if you try to copy the local dialect David Chave
Very good film you two. I thought Lacock might be a bit like Castle Combe with most of the homes being 2nd homes for city types but would you say there are more full time villagers?
Bit of useless info for you…Zoe & Joe Sugg (famous youtubers) were born and raised in Lacock. There’s a video they did of them going back and visiting their school:)
I've always wanted to Lacock (Lay Kok) the home of British photography. Bear in mind that W H Fox Talbot's negative/ positive process supplanted Daguerre and his Daguerreotype lasting until its recent replacement by electronics. In the late 1970s I met a 100 year old lady who claimed to be a great niece of Fox Talbot's carpenter's son who made FT's cameras, the carpenter that is.
When I was a boy my brother and I together with a friend decided to play golf with the cow pats in the farmers field. It didn't end well but we did have a laugh
no heres the thing! if you go to a village to interview the grockless at least remember what they said to you i think you will find thats the basics of journalism
Very odd. All your recent videos are pixilated. I have looked at the settings and it's on its highest resolution. So I don't know what's happened. Great series by the way.
Barry, are you watching on a mobile or tablet? I find with my phone that it seems to default videos on TH-cam at 480p and I have to change each time on the settings to 1080p!
We go to Lacock often. Being NationalTrust members it costs us nothing. Nice to see Julia wearing her face mask in the church. Where was yours, Richard? Always keep your eyes down when in a field of cows. You never know you’ll find. Most of Lacock has been used for filming over the years.. Did you go down to the river and ford? That’s my favourite spot.
Brilliantly filmed. We've all been shouting "Laycock" at the screen for over a week. Now we can stop!
I read that name a bit different and was puzzled.
Lacock is a place I have always wanted to visit. Beautiful historic buildings. Lots to see. Brilliant.
Thanks Rachel. Well worth going to.
What a lovely place Lacock is, so historic with great buildings, great video Richard and Julia. :) 👍
It just keeps getting better
Fantastic place which i visited (mainly around the Abbey area) many years ago. I must return and search out more of its treasures.
Wow Richard & Julia, what a beautiful place with those lovely buildings great filming and commentary, I have really enjoyed watching this series, and Julia’s face explaining about the cow pat bless her, shame the boot scrapper wasn’t closer lol
Ha ha - yes, could have done with the boot scrapper then! :)
Beautiful and brilliant. Trees, topiary, buildings, horses, etc.. enchanting. What a memorable village. Ps Richard not ignorance…..only learning curves . You are teaching us as well as you go along. Also cows amazing and the “Pat” ha ha
I’m liking the bits of voice over and the Julia solo bit to camera. Nice x
Thank you. Loving this series. Atb from Galicia.

Great video Richard, and what a wonderful village & church. Oh that there were more such places so well preserved. Thank you
Excellent really enjoyed this thankyou both 😀
Very interested watching Wilshire enjoy seeing different places were u been round hope Julia enjoy here break way some different thack you
Please come home now !!! We are missing you !!! and so is the landscape heritage and nature of Sussex
A great video, very interesting to know that Lacock wholly belongs to the National Trust. It certainly is in a time capsule. Beautifully filmed
A model village indeed.
Fabulous. Great content and filming. You are certainly sticking to your promise of nature landscape and heritage. Thank you
Doing my best!

Another great & fantastic video of VAN TRIP UK: Lacock: Richard and Julia go to Wiltshire - Part Six.✔✔✔✔
Really enjoyed the style of filming and enjoying the voice over ... well done
Thank you kindly!
I have really enjoyed this series, so well filmed and narrated , lovely area and it looks like you are both having such a good time.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this Richard. I am very fond of Lacock and the area around it.
We enjoyed it too

I’m definitely going to visit this village with my wife
This looks like a wonderful place to visit 😍 will add that to my list 😂
Will miss this series , but look forward to what’s coming next 🙌🏻🙌🏻
One more episode to come from the Wiltshire adventure.
Great video, I live just down the road in the town of Melksham.
Very cool!
A lovely village. I'm from Melksham too Nigel. Such a lovely area to live and explore 😊
@@emaartamor 2 from Melksham watching the same video. Small world.
@@nigelamor6682 indeed, it's my local patch. Have you always been a Moonraker?
@@emaartamor yes born in Bradford on Avon in 1958 and lived in Melksham all my life.

You said "its like a filmset". Well actually the high street has been used in many films - Pride and Prejudice, Downton Abbey and many others!
love the village was near to where I growing up, did you drive in to Lacock thought Sandy Lane the cottages are so lovely my late mum was a local nurse to the area and allways want to buy one never got one on her wages
Really enjoyed this one - excellently filmed - lacock seems much more “alive” than castle Coombe - not sure why
There were shops in this village, as well as a couple of pubs.
There were even homemade goods on sale outside homes with honesty boxes
@@JuliaHartley - I love that. They do that a lot in my parents’ part of suffolk
Have you visited Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds? That might also give you a challenge for your "wanting to live" location. It feels like it has soul too.
I have been there, about 8 years ago. Lovely place.
Ha you did go to Lacock!

Ha...I get terribly chapped lips too Julia - climate of Madrid is very dry
Very good film you two. I thought Lacock might be a bit like Castle Combe with most of the homes being 2nd homes for city types but would you say there are more full time villagers?
Because they are rented by the National Trust, I think they have to be lived in.

"visit" omitted from first line!
Good bit of mime with your invisible dog. Pity you couldn't have just mimed the cowpat though!
Famous for the Harry Potter films, which sadly is the reason why there's lots of people walking about and taking photos.
Yes, such a shame.
I've watched all six videos i refuse to post a comment till the end, ok maybe just once...... :)
My gawd - Fox Talbot's photo of the window was good for 1835 - William the 1V was still on the throne! Victoria didn't accede until 1837!
spye park estate is now owned by the woodland trust😄
It's the little treasures that you find in the buildings. Like the boot scrapers. You just don't have those interesting details in new builds.
English counties have thier own idenety
Bowden Park went on the market in 2020 for 35 million, a mere snip of my pocket change, not🤣
It's pronounced "Laycock" :)
Ah I was too quick to comment. You said it right:)
When I was a boy my brother and I together with a friend decided to play golf with the cow pats in the farmers field. It didn't end well but we did have a laugh
