Rural life

Most of the UK film archives have large collections of film depicting aspects of rural, community, and agricultural life in the twentieth century. This includes films of every day life in small villages and communities, farming or church-related group activities, farming families in the regions, changing agricultural practices, and disappearing rural folklore and traditions.
