William Henry Fox Talbot is best known for inventing the positive/negative process used in photography, but he was also a mathematician, physicist, philologist, and transcriber of Syrian and Chaldean cuneform texts.

The Museum pays tribute to this remarkable man, and is situated in a mediaeval barn which is also the reception to Lacock Abbey, where Fox Talbot lived. The upper deck of the museum is accessible to the disabled via a stair lift.

There is an excellent photographic bookstore within the museum building with titles on technique, equipment and photographers.

Lacock Abbey and Village provide an ideal subject on which to practice your photographic skills.
