Our final event for this year is on Friday 17th November when John Flewin, founder and curator of Stewkley Film Archive, will give a vintage film presentation ‘The Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital“.
This 30 minute film was commissioned in the 1930s to encourage families to join the hospital’s contributory scheme which then ensured free healthcare at the hospital. Many Wingravians would have received treatment at the hospital.
The film was shown “to a large audience at the Temperance Hall in Wingrave” in November 1938, almost 85 years ago to the day, but has remained unseen ever since.
As usual 7.30 pm, in the Wingrave Community Centre; free entrance to members of the Heritage association, £4 on the door for visitors. The Community Centre bar will be open.
