Mary and Joseph (Helen and Marcus Rhodes) in the High Street. Members of the congregation at Sheldon Road Methodist Church have made a film of the nativity and set it in and around Chippenham. Writer and director David Stranks said, “We wanted to offer the people of the Chippenham area a chance to see a traditional Nativity which is set in their town today. So, the story and costumes are not ‘updated’ but the setting is definitely 2020. We even used a drone to film the shepherds’ fields next to the M4! It reminds us that it has meaning and relevance for all of us today.”
