Philip Pullen, Chair of Larkin100, goes in search of one of the churches featured in the iconic BBC Monitor programme from 1964, 'Down Cemetery Way' which featured Philip Larkin and John Betjeman.
In an article in 'About Larkin' in Summer 2006 Amber Allcroft described a similar expedition of discovery and an encounter with the church key holder at the time who remembered the filming'
'I remember my dad telling me about the day the BBC came. He was looking over his garden gate when a BBC lorry stopped outside the church. The crew threw a bicycle off the lorry and a chap in thick glasses got out, put on a pair of bicycle clips and cycled the one hundred yards up to the entrance and went inside. The crew told me to clear off because they didn't want me in the film.' ('About Larkin 21, p.36)
