St Cyriac's Church, Lacock

But with Lacock a prosperous market town on the sheep droving route from Bath to London, a more extensive 15th-century rebuild was undertaken from the substantial local tax revenues.

[1] In 1604 the recessed octagonal tower was rebuilt, followed later by the "cottage" or south annex, comprising two storeys; an attic was built in a rusticated style, described then as the "new Yle" in 1619.

After his death in 1636, a series of brass plaques were placed in the church floor commemorating the life of Sir Robert Baynard.

In 1902, Sir Harold Brakspear remodelled the church in a way sympathetic to his friend and local resident, the photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot.

[3] In the early 21st century, the church was subject to a series of improvement programmes, enabled by public donation, private subscription and funding from national bodies.
