At Old Arley in Warwickshire it's time to celebrate a highlight in the farming calendar.

Autumn 1954 and Nuneaton based film-maker Len Bass visits the village of Old Arley in Warwickshire to record the culmination of the farming year. The crops are in and it's time for the annual harvest festival service. Children bring offerings for the church (the bananas and grapes are clearly not a result of farmers toiling in the Warwickshire countryside) and then we see the distribution of the produce amongst a group of children in hospital.

The film may focus on the agricultural life of Old Arley but the main local industry was in fact coal mining with extensive workings including Daw Mill Colliery, which eventually became the final working mine in the West Midlands.
