from Stoneleigh
David Bellamy visits the tiny village of Stoneleigh at the heart of England, which has now given its name to the huge National Agricultural
Centre where visitors come to see the latest farming methods demonstrated. Among the people he talks to are farmer's wife Renee Adcock , who has already seen this year's harvest gathered in, and workers at the centre. People from the local villages come together in the ancient parish church of St Mary to sing their favourite harvest hymns. Come, ye thankful people, come
(St George); Reap me the earth as a harvest to God; Praise, 0 praise our God and King (Monkland); Good Christian men, rejoice and sing! (Gelobt sei Gott); We plough the fields (Wir pflugen); Morning has broken (Bunessan): All things praise thee (Te laudant omnia): Immortal, invisible (St Denio) Conductor SUSAN SPENCER Organist PETER ANTROBUS Directors
