With its lush countyside and historic towns, Shropshire has proved a popular setting for countless films and television series. Lara Page looks at the county’s diverse screen history.
Last year’s wartime blockbuster Atonement, starring Keira Knightly and James McAvoy, is partly filmed in Stokesay Court in Onibury, which was used for the Tallis’ home in the movie. The set was visited by our Movie Blogger Carl Jones in September 2007, when he took an Atonement Tour of Stokesay Court with owner Caroline Magnus.

i would also like to remind all that the Butermarket was used in the BBC’s 1983 version of Oliver Twist
Don’t forget that the series Blott On The Landscape (1985) was filmed in and around Ludlow.
‘The Green Green Grass’. Truly awful, packed with every stock comedy stereotype in the book and just really really unfunny. Meanwhile ‘Take Me Home’ as I remember it was superb and could still look good i’m sure if repeated today.
and i think a farm house near upton magna was used for a dickins style drama but i cant remember the name .
