About KJHL

King John's Hunting Lodge is the oldest house in the rare, unspoilt medieval village of Lacock.

The main part of the lodge, dating back to the 13th century, still has much of the original cruck beam structure, whilst the rear of the building was added to in Tudor times. King John (1167 - 1216), Lord of the Manor of Melksham, frequently indulged his passion for hunting in the surrounding forest, and it is likely that he made regular visits to his Hunting Lodge.

Today, almost 900 years later Margaret Vaughan has created a sanctuary from the stresses of modern life by providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
