This is a film made by Doug and Norah Brear of a holiday in which Doug meditates on the respective virtues of times past as against modern life, using Corfe in Dorset and Plymouth in Devon as examples of each.  Title - Chaseley Films Present Title - Ancient and Modern The Brears are visiting Corfe in Dorset, looking around the village and the surroundings, the Castle ruins, timber buildings and St Edwards Church, with Doug commenting on the history of these buildings.  They stop at another small coastal port before arriving in Plymouth, showing the statue of Francis Drake and a view over the bay.  Doug contrasts the modernity of the city with Corfe, stating that the spaciousness and new buildings lend the place a dignity as we see a view over the city centre, and that it is “beautiful in a modern way”.
