St Mary's School tell the Story of the Domesday Book at the 1986 Dover Pageant, Connaught Park, Dover, Kent, England, UK
70 young past and present pupils of St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Dover, took the brunt of the cold as they played out their Domesday Book story before a delighted audience - and in front of a BBC TV film crew. The children told of William the Conqueror's invasion and how he set about logging all in his kingdom. They used a combination of song, dance, pictures and mime and commentary, under the direction of teacher Mrs Vicky Brown. It was all recorded by the BBC's education section for use in a programme this September about how schools up and down the country have marked the 900th anniversary of the Domesday Book.
