Overview
Starting at the village of Burwash we see the parish church, St Bartholomew's, followed by quaint houses and shops in the High Street before proceeding to Bateman's, a large Jacobean house once owned by Rudyard Kipling. We see visitors wandering about the grounds and gardens as well as views of the house and its outbuildings which include a nearby mill with a working waterwheel. We end with an elderly couple seated by a well and a number of donkeys in a field.
Reginald Charman lived his entire life in the same house in Horsham, West Sussex. He was an avid and prolific film maker, using both Standard 8mm and Super 8mm film. He and his fellow film maker, Cecil Cramp, made a special effort to record over the years a wide variety of events and locations in and around Horsham and the surrounding area. After Reginald's death, Cecil ensured that many of their films and photographs depicting life in Sussex were conserved at various local museums and libraries. Many of their films are now held at Screen Archive South East.
