More recently, parts of the village were used in the BBC dramatisation of Cranford. St Mary’s, suitably turned back 150 years, was used as Cranford Church and several scenes were shot in a nearby cottage and in Church Lane.

In 1999, The Three Horsehoes was the setting for a TV film ”The Mystery of Men” made by Valentine Productions, a company owned/run by actor Nick Berry. Nick Berry also starred in the film with Warren Clark and Neil Pearson. The pub became the “The Oasis of Sanity” for the duration!

A visitor to the web site also mentioned that the 1998 film version of ‘The Avengers’ used Bottom Road as a location for a sequence in which some killer robot bees attack Mrs Peel’s car as it drives along. Apparently you get some very nice shots of the valley!

Beyond Radnage, the local area has been used extensively as film settings, including Chitty, Chitty Bang Bang (Ibstone), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (High Wycombe), Vicar of Dibley (Turville), Morse and Midsomer Murders (Hambledon Valley and Turville).

One final point of note is that the ashes of the English actress Wendy Hiller are to be found in the Radnage churchyard. The Academy Award-winning actress enjoyed a varied acting career that spanned nearly sixty years. Despite many notable film performances, she chose to remain primarily a stage actress. At Shaw's insistence, she starred as Eliza Doolittle in the film Pygmalion (1938) with Leslie Howard as Professor Higgins. This performance earned her her first Oscar nomination and became one of her most famous film roles. She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1959 for the film Separate Tables (1958), as a lonely hotel manageress and was nominated again for her performance as Dame Alice (wife of Sir Thomas More) in A Man for All Seasons (1966).
She married the playwright Ronald Gow in 1937 and they lived Beaconsfield, where they had two children. Gow died in 1993.
