Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 17 of the house, but the fine detail evident in the rest of the map is singularly lacking for Lackham. The abundant woodland, for which we have documentary evidence, is only shown by three small, token, and undefined, areas of woodland. This maps value will become apparent, however, when discussing the various entrance ways into the estate (see below). Fig. 8 Extract from the map made for Mr. Talbot, 1764 30 ** (if visiting from below click here to return to text) The footpath leading from Cuckoo Bush to Lackham House would appear to have run very close to the line now taken by the Back Drive. It is possible that when this drive was put in place (in about 1860) it followed the line of a path that had been in use for generations. Since the map was made the footpath to Chippenham, further to the west, has been diverted along the line of the brook eastwards, to hit the Back Drive about where the footbridge for the other path is seen on the map. The footpath to the 30 Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, Chippenham (henceforth W&SHC)
Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 18 House very clearly went to the east of the building, and enters somewhere “behind” the building, away from the avenue and the carriage drive. Servants use the back door……. The western edge of Lackham, where “Mr Kingston‟s” land is noted, is identifiable today as being the large medieval boundary ditch still in existence. The next map was made by Andrews and Drury in 1773 (Fig. 9). The representation of the house is not totally accurate, given the other illustrations we have available, but the multiple sections are shown and the layout of the grounds and woods are almost certainly accurate in essence if not scale. The major Manor houses were all drawn so that their faces were seen, looking from the bottom of the map, irrespective of their actual orientation. The next map was made by Andrews and Drury in 1773 (Fig. 9). The house is shown with a garden to the east and south and the small buildings visible in Dingley‟s sketch are shown. The house area is shown as much longer east to west than it actually would have been and it doesn‟t work very well.
