Amateur film showing scenes of the Carter family.

Men fish from a punt and from the bank of the Fens or the Broads. A train passes over a railway bridge. A man poses alongside two cars and the catch is laid out for the camera. In Swaffham a crowd gather for the unveiling of the Swaffham town sign. There are some speeches. Men ride on a tractor through the snow to where a car is stuck in a snowdrift. The car is dug out. There are shots of the family in their garden. A man measures a wooden chest. The children play on a rocking horse. A shot from a railway carriage shows an aeroplane flying overhead. There are beach scenes showing the family in the sea. Further family shots give way to scenes of the family emerging from a church after a Christening and there are close-up shots of the baby. Finally a Roman Catholic Pilgrimage procession in Walsingham, for the feast of Corpus Christi. This starts out from East Barsham Manor.
