Roy Turner's film 'AFTER CLAUDIUS'

The history of the Roman invasion and occupation of Britain is a complex one, but this film attempts to show how it came about, progressed and finally came to grief in about the 6th. century A.D. with the introduction into Britain of Christianity.
The legacy of the Romans is still with us even today; remains of Roman forts, temples and even roads. It is remarkable that not a road was built from the end of the Roman occupation until the turnpike roads in the 18th. century (but we've certainly more than made up for it since)!

The film concentrates mostly on the North of England and Scottish borders and includes sequences in York, the Cotswolds (Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water), together with Watling Street in the hamlet of Affetside near Bury and, of course, Hadrian's Wall in a dramatic sequence showing the building and destruction of the Wall.

The majestic towers of York Minster, symbol of the introduction of Christianity into Britain after the Romans had gone.
