The Tudor Courtyard, Lacock Abbey

Location: Lacock Abbey

This view of the Tudor Courtyard was taken from an upper window of a room used by servants. Possibly a pantry, or storage for a butler or housekeeper.

The windows with square panes facing the camera are of a small dressing room that opens into the Tapestry Bedroom.

Most of what can be seen in this photograph is the north end of the house which overlooks the Tudor Courtyard.
