St Cyriac’s Parish Church, Lacock

St Cyriac’s Parish Church Lacock was built around 1480 AD, but the site has been used as a church since at least Norman and possibly even Saxon times. At the time of its building, Lacock was a prosperous wool town.

History

The name of St Cyriac comes from a 3-year-old child martyred in Cilicia (now part of modern-day Turkey) in 303 AD. St Cyriac’s was restored in 1861 by the architect Arthur Blomfield.
