Geraldine McEwan Rye 

Mapp and Lucia-- Real masterpiece!

Miss Marple...love her voice. RIP.

She was, outside Margaret Rutherford, THE best Miss Marple...recently watched an early war-time British comedy that she co-starred in - brilliant young actress :)

She makes even the Rye seem like a thriller! Super actress. RIP

For all the Geraldine McEwan fans, don't forget her series Mulberry. It was brilliant though, unfortunately, short-lived as was Mapp & Lucia. I rarely see anyone mention it. Definitely worth watching if you can find it.

I can’t tell when this documentary was taken but it seemed quite a few years since Mapp and Lucia. What a great classic! And so is this place it seems!

She was also priceless as the Bishop's wife in Barchester Chronicles.

I saw a tiny clip of this video on Instagram and instantly recognised her from a The Tiger Who Came To Tea audiobook I had as a child. Very satisfied lol

Used to visit Rye at the weekend but didn't know this interesting facts

Geraldine had a lovely speaking voice.

I loved a Mapp and Lucia

Fabulous actress. Loved her in mapp and Lucia, a one off.

One wonders why Grebe was not mentioned as they motored up the River Rother? Also Priscilla Ryan, the woman who speaks at 16:57, is Mapp's doppelgänger!

Nice and peaceful , I like it.

At ~10.50 (Landgate Tower), actually, the two arch styles can probably be explained. The back shot on departing shows the back of what was possibly the original (rounded) frontside arch that matches the (still-rounded) backside arch. The 'cover' for the front arch has had a cladding layer and pointed (Gothic-like) arch affixed to it, probably to update it cosmetically. If (this is guesswork) such rounded arches persisted longer in England than on the continent, as they were wont to do, then it's not too late in the 13th c. for those to be original with the tower, and the cladding and pointed arch could have been added in, say, the 15th or even the 16th c. (Were there any royal visitors at some point, for whom a cover-up/refresh was done? That was the usual motivation as far as I've seen in France.) Possibly some city payment records could be found somewhere that might elucidate this; I know French sources better, but would guess a national library or archive database search might bring up some relevant references.

She's marvelous in "Come Into the Garden Maude" from 1982 written by Noel Coward - used to be on utube.

I thought it was a comedy for ten minutes
