Godmanchester Remembered - DVD

Godmanchester elder Neville Markham’sphotographic memory is a gift to us. Born before the First World War, Neville Markham gives us poignant childhood memories of that time, brings long gone people back to life and tells amusing tales about service with the gentry and the shopkeepers. He milked the cows, delivering milk door to door and made Godmanchester cheese. The Markhams have lived here for generations, so we hear echoes of his grandmother’s Victorian life and that of his great grandmother Bathia, born in 1811.

Children of Godmanchester - DVD

During the First World War, Godmanchester organ player John Dayton started to build his own organ. By the late 20s he was a familiar sight in local towns, including Huntingdon’s Market Hill. Pathé cameras caught him playing for local children in West Street, one February afternoon. We tracked down those children or their families to find out what happened when they grew up and what life in the Godmanchester of 1934 was like.
