The last of six films in which English communities still look remarkably different from each other.
Kersey, Suffolk
At the time of Domesday Book, East Anglia was the home of half the yeoman of England, independent farmers who owned their own patches. Today some of those families are still there, like The Partridges whose written family history goes back to the early 1500s. The continuity seems unlikely to be broken but with several sons and a daughter to consider,
John Partridge has his problems. Brian Trueman looks at a family watershed against the background of the autumn ploughing, the winter lambing and the summer harvest.
