<strong>Houses</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lackham</strong> 2 nd ed 24<br />
This clearly shows the new <strong>Lackham</strong> house, and as it‟s inscription states it is<br />
for the “proposed” canal it must predate the end <strong>of</strong> 1795 36 . <strong>The</strong>refore the<br />
current <strong>Lackham</strong> House was built by James Montagu VI sometime between<br />
1793 and 1795.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re may be evidence that the new house was built by 1794; in Devizes<br />
there is another map, dated 1794 that also clearly shows the new house but<br />
the route <strong>of</strong> the canal follows the river to Chippenham, not the more<br />
easterly route with the branch canal to the town that is shown in the<br />
earlier map and which was the course actually built.<br />
