In the courtyard at the pub. This was in Lacock, National Trust village. A bit about Lacock:

Wander into the 18th century. Feast your eyes on thatched and stone cottages. Revel in Tudor, half-timbered black and white buildings. Lacock, on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, was once a centre of the medieval wool trade. Today it still reflects those times, and no TV aerials, overhead cables or yellow lines on its streets spoil the scene. The village started its life in Saxon times. Norman lords then ruled the area and built a church in honor of St. Cyriac. Lying on the direct London to Bath route, the village prospered. Lacock Abbey, in the village, was founded in 1232, by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, This unusual lady-she was the first and only female sheriff of Wiltshire-built the Abbey as a tribute to her husband and became its first Abbess.
