The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners Lackham owned as a College The County Council purchased Lackham with a view to turning it into the Wiltshire Farm institute 407 , with a 60% grant from the War Agricultural Committee, but this was on the understanding that the Committee would use Lackham to run its own training courses for de-mobilised servicemen for the next three to five years 408 . This was not the first Agricultural training establishment in the local area – in 1944 the local paper reported that The Wiltshire War Agricultural Committee held a successful Farm At Home at Bowden Park Farm Lacock on Sunday evening. This holding, which is at present being farmed by the Committee is being utilised as a stock rearing farm specially for young dairy bulls and as a Farm Training School for boys. The At Home included a demonstration of calf feeding and rearing, together with inspection of the young bulls the crops and livestock. 409 A sub-committee of the Wiltshire Agricultural Committee was set up to make appointments of teaching and domestic staff 410 at Lackham, and by early 1946 407 W&SHC 1945 This was proposed and agreed at a meeting on May 8 th , 1945 408 W&SHC 1945 “Representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture have inspected Lackham Park estate and have approved in principle its purchase by the County Council for ultimate use as a farm institute on condition it be loaned to the Ministry for an agreed period of not less than three and not more than 5 years for use as a Government Training Centre to be administered on the Ministry’s behalf by the County Agricultural Executive Committee “ 409 Wiltshire Gazette and Herald May 1944 410 Thomas JO (1984) History of Agricultural Education in Wiltshire W&SHC F8/760/20 and a copy is also held in Wiltshire College Lackham library, online at http://www.lackham.co.uk/history/Lackham%201946-1970.pdf 124
