The Powell & Pressburger Pages

Dedicated to the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and all the other people, both actors and technicians who helped them make those wonderful films.

A lot of the documents have been sent to me or have come from other web sites. The name of the web site is given where known. If I have unintentionally included an image or document that is copyrighted or that I shouldn't have done then please email me and I'll remove it.

I make no money from this site, it's purely for the love of the films.

ACT Location Walk, Fordwich, 27th August 2023


This year's PaPAS A Canterbury Tale film location walk will be held on Sunday, August 27 in Fordwich. Gather from 12.30 at the Fordwich Arms or go straight to St Mary the Virgin church at 1.30pm where the tour will begin. No need to book. Just turn up. although you can warn us & give us your details in case of any last minute weather or travel problems.

We will revisit Fordwich Town Hall, the inspiration for "Chillingbourne Town Hall," where "Alison" and "Bob Johnson" reported their encounter with the "glueman."

The Town Hall will be open from 1.45 - 4 pm (admission £3). We will visit the Court Room and see how it was re-created for the film.

We will also see St Mary's parish church (where Chillingbourne's parishioners were filmed arriving for matins), the entrance to the "Colpeper Institute", and other nearby places that represented Chillingbourne village.

Your guide will be Laura of the Powell & Pressburger Appreciation Society.

Fordwich Revisited!
