Made by Dennis Leather, a member of Vixen Films, this film captures the centenary celebrations for St Mary’s Church in Bolsterstone, just outside Stocksbridge.  The film is accompanies by a commentary.  Title - St Mary’s Church Bolsterstone Centenary A boy and a girl hold up a placard with 1879 written on it.  This is followed by a boy and a girl holding up a placard with 1979 written on it. Intertitle – Village Fayre There is a banner on a wall with ‘Village Fayre July 7th’.  On a sunny day, crowds of people congregate in the centre of the village where there are stalls and some people dressed in Victorian costume.  There is a man selling balloons.  In the school playground children are in fancy dress.  One small girl runs around holding an inflatable ring.  The children in fancy dress march past, one dressed as a mummy.  Inside the school, people sit tables where they have tea.  Back in the Vicarage, children are on swings and lots of people mingle around the Victorian themed stalls.  The Stocksbridge Works Brass Band performs, and some girls are on horses.  The film finishes with children in prams eating ice creams.
