We see a gardener (grave digger?) at work in the churchyard at Kinnersley in Herefordshire. This is followed by shots of children picking flowers in a wood. We then see children leaving St John's church in Kinnersley. There are views of horses in a field and on a lane. We then see a village fete (part of the village's coronation festivities) with children's sports and a game in which people throw darts at a spinning board. This is followed by scenes of grass cutting and hay making including horses pulling carts laden with hay and horse drawn grass cutter and rakes in use. The end section shows geese and pigs on a farm.
