Bath Episode 12 Lacock and Corsham


Listen Later

The first of three episodes suggesting days out from Bath, this one takes you to Lacock and Corsham.  Hear about the widowed Mum of eight who founded Lacock Abbey in the 13th century, about the life of the nuns there and the village's role as a popular film set.  You've probably seen it in Pride and Prejudice, Wolf Hall or Harry Potter.  Secondly, off to Corsham, home of Corsham Court and of a 17th century almshouse and schoolroom.
