Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 15 (below) It is a plan of the old house and as far as is known this is the first time this document has been discussed. It provides useful information on the layout of the old house. There is no indication of orientation on the original plan, the compass rose in Fig. 6 has been placed using the excavated features for alignment. Fig. 6 is a plan redrawn from the original by the author 27 The plan is to scale, and walls located in the excavations carried out so far confirm that it is accurate 28 . For further information on the layout of the house it is necessary to turn to contemporary maps. It is likely that the original house was a fairly simple building, but its imprint may be visible in the plan. The Great Hall was possibly the original (Fig. 7a), with the building to the south (right) of the hall, with its undercroft and Solar. The Porch was possibly also present in this early house. The rooms on either side, and the rear passage, may well have formed the next stage of development, they give a symmetrical balanced house (Fig. 7b). It is stressed that Figs. 7a and 7b are entirely speculative. 27 My thanks to Wiltshire Natural History and Archaeological Society for permission to refer to the original and to use it as the basis for this figure 28 This plan was not located until nearly the end of the second excavation in April/May 2002, the recovery of the walls in the excavation trenches was the result of experienced placement of the trenches by Mr. Robey and Mr. Stone, somewhat aided by the geophysical survey
Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 16 Fig. 7a Possible early plan of Lackham House ** Fig. 7b Possible development of house by cross passage ** The Maps 29 The earliest map so far found is that produced for Mr. Talbot, of Lacock Abbey, in 1764 This map gives wonderfully detailed information on the Lacock estate, the areas of the land holdings, who rented them and so on but only the vaguest outline of Lackham; it clearly shows the main drive and the outline position 29 The illustrations are reproductions made by the author from the originals; the sources are all fully documented. The problems of establishing ownership of copyrights, and the costs of gaining permission to reproduce the originals, meant that generating my own versions was the only realistic option available
