Filming

The railway bridge was the perfect location for shooting a scene in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Photographing Faries

The Church was used for the opening scene of the 1996 film Photographing Faries and received £500^[1]. St Peter's doubled as a Swiss alpine church surrounded by snow. Since filming took place in July, this necessitated white sheeting and theatrical spray snow to accomplish the shot.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

The 1968 film starring Dick Van Dyke had a memorable scene filmed at the railway bridge. Watch it again to see how little has changed!
