The Film

The Legend of Beggar’s Bridge is an independent short film produced by Eboracum Pictures of York. This endearing folktale, passed down by many generations, tells of the poor Tom Ferres and his secret relationship with the local squire’s daughter, Agnes Richardson, and reveals how the bridge and the legend came to be.

Set in Glaisdale in the picturesque North Yorkshire Moors, this period drama has been produced on a microbudget by a very talented and committed team. Part-narrated by well-known actor Andrew Dunn, the film also includes an array of talented actors including Andy Curry, Natalie Gazit, Kate Steel and Richard Vergette.

You can buy the DVD direct from our site or from various shops across the North Yorkshire region. The DVD includes the film, a 'Making of' documentary and a short documentary about the man who built the bridge, Tom Ferres.
