Description

The original church was Norman and while the dedication to St Cyriac is unusual in this country it is not in Normandy. A major rebuilding took place in the late 15th century by which time Lacock was a thriving township involved in the wool trade.

Although the main part of the church as we see it today was built about 1450, the Lady Chapel predates it by about 30 years. The spire was added in the 1700s.

Further restoration took place in 1861 when the transept arches were raised to their present height and old box pews replaced by the present pews.
