[Jasper's Green]

1974 , Jasper's Green (Essex)

Cat no. 1058

BBC East documentary profiling the village of Jaspers Green.

The film begins with shots of the village, a hamlet of two streets, not marked on a map. It is identified by a street sign. Ken Hoare, the writer and scriptwriter, co-author of the `Stanley Baxter Show', walks along a country lane. A signpost points to Panfield, Braintree and Jasper's Green. He explains that the village is full of literary associations. He points out a 17th century cottage that was the home of a woman who is alleged to have had an affair with Patrick Bronte, father of the Bronte sisters, when he was the local curate. A large, thatched cottage with roses growing in the garden and a Dalmatian barking at the gate. This is the home of author Dodi Smith and her husband Alex Beesley. They leave the cottage and walk through the garden to a field where they feed a donkey. Farmer Byford mounts his horse and exercises it in the main street. Aged 81 he claims to still work 50 hours a week on his 500 acre farm. Jean Goodman recounts the details about Jasper's Green he has given her over shots of him riding his horse. Jasper's Green used to have a Church, a shop and a blacksmiths, all now defunct. The former blacksmith's shop is now the workshop of former carpenter Thomas Cornell. He is filmed at work in the workshop. He explains that, in common with everyone Jean Goodman has spoken to, he doesn't know how the village received its name. In the garden of his home, he shows Jean Goodman a rocking chair that he has made. Concludes with general village shots.
