Harry Potter and Dumbledor, on set at Lacock Village It may not come as a surprise that none of the tour group objected to this last minute addition to the day’s itinerary. Of course, I quickly made the executive decision that we would stop at Lacock for lunch and a browse after we’d done with Bowood House. In 2015 it was used for a series of Downton Abbey episodes. It has also made brief appearances in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and in the spin-off film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. In the spring of 2012, it was a filming location for the fantasy adventure film Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box. The village has been used as a location many times, notably for the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, the 2003 mini-series The Mayor of Casterbridge and the 2007 BBC production of Cranford. While driving to Bowood House in April during Number One London’s Georgian Tour, I realized that we were very close to the historic village of Lacock, the time capsule village that has remained so historically correct, it’s become a favourite of film and television production companies.
