Several men come down a set of steep steps changes to a group of women coming through an archway and up a set of steep steps. In a courtyard a man smoking a cigarette posing besides a statue of a bearded man. Nearby a woman holds a Spaniel dog on a lease, a man throws a piece of food which the dog eats.
A woman attempts to take a photograph, but two women come through a gateway into shot. Eventually she takes her photograph as more people come through the gateway.
Men begin to come out of Blagraves House, down a set of steep steps onto The Bank. Two of them pose with their feet in a set of stocks, one of the men doffs his hat before removing his shoes and wearing them on his hands. Women from the group begin to come out of Blagraves House, a wooden plaque on the wall beside the entrance reads ‘Ye Old House-Mystery’.
Outside a shop on Market Place near to the Market Cross the group eat ice creams, someone feds a piece of wafer to the Spaniel. A woman holds her ice cream out to the Spaniel who jumps up at it. The group begins to walk away.
The film ends in a garden and another dog resting on grass beside a coop of pigeons.
