What a great night, it was tense, it was close, just a few points in it. Six well planned rounds with interesting themes – Up the Union! A little bit of culture; A little personal; Odds & Ends, Truly General & finally Happy Christmas. Thanks Denis.
Seven teams battled it out, punctuated by well-earned drinks after each round (maybe that was my downfall!) At half time there were only 2 ½ points in it between the top 4 teams, so there was everything to play for. In the end it all came down to the last couple of questions, Minus 2 team were wrong-footed and pipped at the post by Ted’s Team. Well done to Tim, Sharon, Edith & Dawn who proudly strode away with the cup for the following year. Commiseration to Minus 2, Badger & Pauline, the runners-up, a fantastic effort seeing as they were only running on half strength.

Clue to the question at the top of the page – Think of the quizmaster & you’ll get the place.


The Blog stats regularly show people coming to the site searching for an answer to the question “Where was Cranford filmed?” So, where was Cranford filmed?
I have the answer!
Cranford was mainly filmed in the Wiltshire village of Lacock (now there’s a Parwich connection for you!), which is wholly owned by the National Trust.
According to the BBC website, scenes were also shot in West Wycombe, Oxfordshire, Ashridge and Shepperton Studios.
Hope this helps!
Well it’s taken almost a year for this question to be answered & I think that on the evening of the Quiz only two teams got the correct answer. When Denis does a quiz his name always appears somewhere in the answers. Laycock is a delightful Wiltshire village which has often been used in films & period productions such as Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice and The Other Boleyn Girl. The village, Abbey & Museum are run by the National Trust.
