During my recent trip to England, we stopped in the village
of Lacock on our way to Stonehenge. Lacock
is a village in Wiltshire, England and is owned almost in its entirety by the National Trust. It attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled
appearance and is the setting for many movies such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Harry Potter. Most of the homes were built in the 18th century or
earlier.
The village is absolutely adorable and is one of the highlights of my trip. Because it is owned by the National Trust, the structures of
the Village remain in their heritage condition. But what fascinated me about
them were the front doors.
The cottages are almost identical, but each front
door is unique and special. I wondered what story it could tell about the
occupants, past and present. Not only are the elements of each door different, giving each cottage its own personality,
but the faded jewel colors are fantastic.
