Laycock Abbey -

Laycock Abbey the home of the inventor of photography with negatives for making copies
A Country house created out of a medieval abbey, the home of William Henry Fox Talbot, Ok he's the geezer that invented the type of photography we use today or did until the digital stuff came along. That is with a negative 'cause there was a frog bloke that invented a version that didn't make copies, Dauguerre, that's who I'm thinking of, more history - History of the Digital Camera... - Well so it goes. No it wasn't a pilgrimage. This abbey was for nuns which wasn't so common in England, unlike Spain which also had some mixed ones for a while. I digress, what a surprise
