“The Harting Film – Unpicked” with Andrew Shaxson

​

At the Society’s first meeting of 2026, Andrew will tell the story behind the 1956 film about Harting, and the people and places depicted.

A film commissioned for the Colonial Office, it shows life in a typical, traditional rural English village, a self-sufficient and neighbourly community At the time, it is said, the intention was to demonstrate the timeless values of English village life to Commonwealth countries seeking their

independence. Today, the film provides us with a charming portrait of a picturesque village and its villagers in the mid 1950s.
