Lacock Abbey Brew House. Nikon D700 + Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire: The Brew House. The Brew House, as it is known, in the courtyard of Lacock Abbey was one of the additions made by Sir William Sharington when he acquired the building in 1539. Previously Lacock was a monastery. It was secularised after the Reformation. People of the sixteenth century drank beer in preference to water because it was safer. The Brew House was sympathetically restored during the 1970s, having lain derelict for many years. The equipment would still be capable of brewing beer if desired, but it would not be to the standards of the modern brewing industry. However reviled some of today’s makers of beer have the misfortune to be, the absence of hygiene would not be a criticism they would expect to endure. Photographed with a Nikon D700 and a Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

There was once a timber-built halt here which provided a railway service for the village between 1926 and 1965. The Beeching cuts did away with it. The village has since grown quite considerably, though not enough to justify a train stop yet. Even Corsham, a much more populous village some ten miles down the line from here, and which also lost its railway service to Beeching's vandalism, cannot breathe life into their ambitions to restore trains to their community.
