The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
The village was a location for the 1967 film musical "Doctor Dolittle". Its frequently rainy summer climate frustrated production, as did attempted sabotage – including by British Army officer (and future explorer) Sir Ranulph Fiennes - because of residents' irritation at the producers' modifications of the area for shooting. Other productions include "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd", an episode of "Agatha Christie's Poirot", and the films "Stardust" and "The Wolfman". Throughout September 2010, the village was a filming location for Steven Spielberg's production of "War Horse".
