@@johncraske All animals have a very strong 'feeling and need of belonging' - both for their habitat, range or farm as well as socially, to each other. Many animals and most humans nowadays are rather confused about their place in the natural world as well as our cultural surroundings. Birds of a feather sadly can no longer stick together.

We can stop it. They have a locust mindset. They move from ripe fields to ripe fields causing devastating outcomes. Where the literal locust is psychologically driven by crops, these imitators of locust are driven by economics. So this is what we can do.we must not gove a penny not in their shops, takeaways or barbers. They will swarm on else where. You see the government knows that these won't go to work. So why are they brining them here? There is the theory that they want to water us down which I don't doubt, the evidence is before you. But the government are going to overhaul the benefits system forcing people into very low paid jobs. Those already in minimum paid work will get less all to reduce the inflation they will say. They know that most people will say no so they have the migrants there ready to do it or they get no money. We have to stop this now before it happens. Don't give a penny.

Looking back at the Census it seems that since 1860 the population of the village has been around 900 and still is. However, this delightful film shows what a village is and how it functions best. A far cry from today. For us, on the other side of two World Wars and a gulf of years, such scenes have a simple charm and a sad remoteness.

Great to see the Maypole dancers, my Mum was evacuated from London to Somerset (I think) and talked about dancing around the Maypole, now I can imagine what she was talking about, Thanks for posting

Fascinating thanks for taking the trouble.

Some people nowadays say that they would hate to live in the " olden" days or even the 1970's!! Yes we didnt have the medicine's or understandings of health that we have nowadays, but i think you had more respect for each other & you certainly appreciated food & belongings far more & I'd assume that there was a lot less stress.

Makes me so nostalgic (my ancestors came from Dorset & Hampshire). The sheep market reminds of a time when I was young I asked the shepherd what he was doing that day, his reply 'I'm taking the lambs from their mams and splittin' the rams from the dams' (to be said in a strong local accent!) - it stuck in my head for over 50yrs.

I know this village well, wondeful film.

Found the village on google maps it is still a lovely looking village.

Hard times worrying about the men away fighting.Imagine the relief when the war was finaly over.

Ignorant rubbish. Honestly I despair. We have always been a seafaring nation and Dorset has a large and famous coastline. Portland stone is found in all the corners of the world... and sailors came here too. The myth of all the people never leaving the village they were born in really needs to be buried. It's commented on because it was an oddity then as it would be now. People travelled. They came here like we went there. This was the height of the British empire, soldiers and sailors came here as did wives and tradesmen. Read a few history books..
