The Luttrell PsalterThe Luttrell Psalter Film is a short film made by WAG Screen, a Lincolnshire production company, based on the famous images of medieval life from the 14th century Luttrell Psalter. The psalter is famous for its depiction of ordinary people. Saxonhouse was used as one of the village buildings.
The film was made to be shown at The Collection, Lincoln’s museum and is available here. |
Others Saxonhouse has also played other rather varied roles for our friends at WAG Screen. It has been an accidental stop off point for Dr Who in a very funny 'homage' film - and also a Benedictine monastery hospital for a museum educational film!
