Overview
Stonework in the Cotswolds - old and new - is captured in this amateur documentary, made by the Highbury Little Theatre Film Group.
A Film Group was established at Highbury Little Theatre, Sutton Coldfield, in 1943. It was chiefly known for screening arthouse films, but on this occasion some of its members got behind the camera to record the delights of Cotswolds stonework through the ages.
