ICONIC images of Twiggy, Steve McQueen, Sir John Gielgud and Audrey Hepburn are on display at a museum in Lacock to celebrate 150 years of portrait photography.

The National Trust's Fox Talbot Museum, next to the Abbey, is hosting a display loaned by the Julia Margaret Cameron Trust.

The History of the Photographic Portrait will take visitors on a chronological journey charting the history of the portrait photograph - from its origins with former Lacock Abbey owner William Fox Talbot in the 19th century.

The subject matter reads like a who's who of the past 150 years, with Irish playwright Oscar Wilde, troubled author Virginia Woolf and Queen Victoria appearing alongside more contemporary celebrities.

The museum is exhibiting 65 portraits in total, including the work of Lord Snowdon, Cecil Beaton and Lord Lichfield.

The exhibition will run at weekends only until February 24, and then seven days a week until April 29.
