Media Support

Home Because of its historical significance, Laxton has been chosen as a topic for a number of media items. Stuart has assisted with programmes for radio and television as well as for items in magazines and newspapers.

Stuart has forged a good working relationship with WAG Screen, an group from Lincoln who first came to Laxton in 2007 to film the harvest sequence in their enactments from the Luttrell Psalter, an illuminated manuscript made for the Luttrell family of Irnham in Lincolnshire, between 1325 - 1340, which is housed in the British Library.

The film was premiered at 'The Collection' in Lincoln in May 2008 and very well received. Later in the year the group returned to repeat the harvest filming in better weather .

The Luttrell Psalter film is intended for use with school parties and is now available. Click here for more information.

 Laxton also provided locations for some of their film dramatisation of 'The Lady of Shalott' to celebrate the bicentennary in 2009 of Tennyson's birth . Stuart assisted in the selection of a location for the filming, gave the use of a strip of wheat and advised on the methods used for cutting, binding and stacking the corn.

 

 

Stuart recently collaborated with Nottingham Contemporary in bringing their 'Disclosures II' event to Laxton. Another farmer, Mike Jackson, provided the premises and Stuart arranged catering, assisted the planners on their reconnaissance visits. He took part in a discussion and led a walk forming part of the event.
