The Manor Houses of Lackham 1050-1949 2nd Ed

Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 65
Fig. 49 Entrance pillars to the Stable Yard **
A substantial building, housing the Head Groom and the Groom‟s Bothy
was constructed on the southern side, with a clock tower, and an estate
house in the north eastern corner. At the same time the Gardner‟s Bothy
was built along the north eastern wall of the Garden.
The photograph below 77 probably shows the team which undertook the
building; Tom Flower, second from the left in the back row, “helped build”
Lackham” and was a mason. It is also noted that the gentleman sitting on
the far right hand side is seated on a pile of bricks. This would, of
course, date this photograph to 1902. This is supported by the fact that
the lantern above the top of the arch is not yet in place, suggesting that,
whilst the building maybe completed, the outfitting has not yet been done.
77 Very kindly made available by, and reproduced with the kind permission of, Mr & Mrs.
Flower of Market Lavingtopn, late of Lacock. Mr Flower is the grandson of Tom Flower,
2 nd from the left rear row. My very sincere thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Flower for their help
and permissions.
