 work of various dates than any other village in Wiltshire can show. 

 First, close to the west end of the Church, is the present " NUESES 

 HOME," showing to the street an unpromising red brick modern 

 front, yet, on entering, the timber framing and roof of the 

 original 14th century hall with oak-framed doorway and window 

 and the doorway to the kitchen for the^passage of the screens is 

 found remaining in good condition. A little further on up the 

 street is another 14th century doorway. The OLD ANGEL INN 

 is a 15th century house with 16th century additions, and contains 

 upstairs a nicely panelled room dated 1639. Further on, again, a 

 14th century wooden-framed end of a house is visible, and another, 

 " ME. JENKINS' HOUSE," which was visited, has good panelling 



Turnspit Wheel at the George Inn, Lacock (from a drawing by Miss Talbot). 



of 1633. Lastly, at the GEOEGE INN, in an obscure corner 

 behind the door, is the old wooden turnspit wheel, which could 

 still be turned if the small " turnspit " dog who worked it were 

 available to take his place in it as of old.
