Historical Note:

In 1943 Humphrey Jennings directed a short film re-creating the fate of Lidice. The self-contained village of Cwmgiedd was chosen as a location due to its physical, social and political similarities. Wild River Cottage was heavily featured in this historical and poignant depiction of events.
