Film ConnectionsOne of the most alluringaspects of the UKs wealth of heritage treasures is that strong sense ofhistory they provide the feeling of walking through landscapes, castles,battlefields, houses and buildings that have been the locations for some of themost dramatic and famous events of the countrys past.Given the popularity ofhistorical films and TV dramas, it is not, then, surprising that producers fromall over the world find many locations around the UK that are the perfectsetting for their work. Costume drama at ChatsworthChatsworthHouse in Derbyshire, with its stately architecture, splendid gardens andidyllic landscape, is one of Britainsmost popular historic attractions, but also finds time to star in some top filmand TV productions. These include the BBC adaptation of Charlotte Brontës 1847novel, Jane Eyre, and the films Pride and Prejudice (2005), The Duchess (2008) and The Wolfman (2009). Providing settingsfor classic novels and werewolves, Chatsworth is certainly a versatile star,and was understandably featured in the Channel 4 series, Great Estates. Remains of the Day in the West CountryThe film-makers JamesIvory and Ismail Merchant are closely associated with period dramas, and theyhave made as much use of the countrys historic properties as they have of thegreat writers of English literature. One of their best-loved films, based onthe 1989 novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, TheRemains of the Day, featured two West Country houses, PowderhamCastle in Devon and Dyrham Parkin Gloucestershire.Dressing the Stars in BathOf course, howeversplendid or appropriate the location, no costume drama can be complete withoutthe right costume. The dress worn by Judi Dench, this time playing a differentqueen Elizabeth I in the 1998 film Shakespearein Love, can be seen at the exhibition Dressing the Stars in Baths Assembly Rooms from 12 July to 29August. The Assembly Rooms, like Chatsworth, played host to The Duchess, and Keira Knightleys dressfrom that film will also be on display. New Shakespeare filmWilliam Shakespeare didnot have to worry about researching and finding locations but the perennialdebate about the true authorship of his plays will be given another airing in afilm to be released later this year, called Anonymous.The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon,of which Judi Dench is an Honorary Fellow, will no doubt be mounting a robustdefence of the local hero. Romance at Sudeley Castle And finally, back inGloucestershire, the romantic Sudeley Castle has not justserved as a location for such adaptations as Jane Austens novel Emma and Thomas Hardys Tess of the DUrbervilles, it is alsothe home of film-maker Henry Dent-Brocklehurst, and was the setting for the(real-life) wedding of actress Liz Hurley to Arun Nayar. Britains historic buildings,after playing host for centuries to real-life events, battles and romances,continue to enjoy centre-stage as locations for todays dramatic recreations.
