"Fordwich Revisited!"

A film location visit
for devotees of Michael Powell's
A Canterbury Tale
on Sunday August 28, 2011

By popular demand we will revisit Fordwich Town Hall, the inspiration for 'Chillingbourne Town Hall,' where 'Alison' and 'Bob Johnson' reported their encounter with the 'glueman.'

The Town Hall will be open from 1.45 - 4 pm (admission £1.50). We will visit the Court Room and watch a DVD of the history of Fordwich in the Undercroft.

We will also see St Mary's parish church (where Chillingbourne's parishioners were filmed arriving for matins), the entrance to the 'Colpeper Institute', and other nearby places that represented Chillingbourne village.

Meet on Fordwich Quay at 1.30 pm
or join us from 12.30 pm at the Fordwich Arms for refreshments.
No need to book. Just turn up. Please give generously to our collection in aid of
