Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Church Farm Farmhouse.. The farmhouse is situated on the very southern edge of the grid square just north of the church which is in ST6103. The house which is thatched is built mainly of cut Portland stone and is just on the west side of the road that runs from Batcombe church towards Leigh and Chetnole.
The house was used as a location in an episode of the Survivors broadcast in 1977.The details of the episode are as follows:
writer: Martin Worth first broadcast: 25th May 1977
Regular Cast: Charles Vaughan: Denis Lill Agnes Carlsson: Anna Pitt Jenny Richards: Lucy Fleming Hubert Goss: John Abineri Alec Campbell: William Dysart Sam Mead: Robert Gillespie Guest Cast: The Captain: Roy Marsden Mitch: Frank Vincent Tom Walter: Barry Stokes Les Norton: John Comer Mrs Hicks: Gabrielle Daye Joe Briggs: Ray Mort Albert Banks: Denis Holmes Mike: Sean Mathias
Other local locations used during this episode include another cottage just along the road from Church Farm now known as Minternes Folly 1741887 and the old army camp at Piddlehinton1098560.
Interestingly enough there is a "supernatural" legend that connects the two houses mentioned above, Church Farm and Minternes Folly. For many years the church tower only had three pinnacles - the loss of the fourth was blamed on the Devil who tried to jump over the tower while giving chase to a local wizard named Minterne. I'm sure it is absolutely true. When chasing a wizard, make it easy for yourself by incorporating into your route a 70ft high obstacle, covered with pinnacles. |
