Community based flm project to raise awareness of the future of the
penninsula
Polesworth Abbey underwent an extensive
restoraton in 2010 and to celebrate this
event a series of flms were commissioned as
part of the overall interpretaton.
Producton of four flms:
A historical documentary/reconstructon
tracing the development of the gatehouse
from medieval tmes to present.

restoraton.
A virtual tour of the fully restored gatehouse

memories of locals.
We with the community we developed a script for the

and also acted in the fnal flmand.
The flms were made into The Gatehouse Collecton
DVD and sold to raise funds.
