Frensham August 1933


This charming film record of a summer holiday at New Lodge, Frensham starts with shots of the Staley family in swimwear playing around the grounds of the large house. We then see them, including their daughter, Pam, playing tennis, posing for the camera, sitting in deckchairs and doing some garden gymnastics. Visiting children join Pam in performing cartwheels on the lawn. Ralph Staley, with his camera on a tripod, joins in the fun.
