Wedding at Belmont Free Church

1931 | c2 mins (extract)

Belmont Free Church is not there any more, the site was sold in the 1980's and in fact the congregation affiliated to the Methodists in 1928. For this wedding though, shot by an amateur (we assume a member of the wedding party) it seems a very vibrant community as the radiant bride marries her scout master groom, ably supported by his fleet of scouts. The fashion for shorter skirts and shorter hair can be seen in the bridal party and clearly, it was a very exciting event for the local community with local children peeking over the fence to get a glimpse of the bride.
