Himley Hall welcomes former Doctor Who for new film project
Film crews have been spotted at Dudley's Himley Hall over the last few days.
Photos from the historic hall show vans and caravans parked up outside.
A sign outside also stated "Public notice – Covid-19 controlled film set – please avoid", while a platform with lights has been set up outside a building.
It has not been confirmed what is being filmed at Himley Hall, but it is rumoured to be Benediction – a film based on the story of English poet, writer and soldier Siegfried Sassoon. According to the website IMDb it will star Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi and Jack Lowden, who starred in Dunkirk.
Sassoon became one of the leading poets of the First World War and his poetry described the horrors of the trenches. He later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography, collectively known as the Sherston Trilogy.
