The PCC of St Mary’s church are planning on showing ‘A Month in the Country’ in the Village Hall on the evening of Thursday 24th April to help raise funds for the church.
A Month in the Country was filmed in St Mary’s in 1986 and stars Colin Firth, Kenneth Branagh (in his first credited role), Natasha Richardson and Patrick Malahide.
There will be a licenced bar with beer, wine and soft drinks.
Doors open at 6pm and the screening will begin at 7pm.

Set in rural Yorkshire during the summer of 1920, the film follows a destitute World War I veteran employed to carry out restoration work on a medieval mural discovered in a rural church while coming to terms with the after-effects of the war.
The film was shot during the summer of 1986 and featured an original score by Howard Blake. The film has been neglected since its 1987 cinema release and it was only in 2004 that an original 35 mm film print was discovered, due to the intervention of a fan.
It has become something of a ‘cult’ film with fans travelling across the world to visit its locations, including to Radnage.
