Low angle shot of a great looking church. This is the prettiest village in England says the voiceover. M, S of, what looks like, ancient walls. Considering that the village exists since 11th century these walls are most probably as ancient as they look. M, S of an archway leading to an ancient well. M, S of a cherry blossom. Several shots of different flowers and bushes emphasises the beauty of the gardens. This is accompanied with the voiceover s discovery that one of the greatest English horticulturists, Robert Sweet, was born in this village. L, S of a lovely looking country house. Succession of shots of different flowers. Considering the variety of scents around, it seems only natural that the old village industry was the distilling of perfume.
