i used to love this womans films when i was a kid and still do ,fantastic actress .

[@angietunstall2555]

Thanks for taking us to see Margaret Rutherford's resting place and also that of her husband Stringer Davis. The grave is beautifully tended, sadly a thing rarely seen for other notables. I do know that she came to acting quite late in life, which is a shame as I'd love to have seen her in more roles. She was such a joy, such a breath of fresh air. I loved Dame Margaret as Madam Arcarty her eccentricities were apposite for this role, scatty and forgetful, and all mixed up with the spirits. Fully deserving of her epitaph, A Blithe Spirit.

[@interestingplaces1]

Madam Arcarti was my favourite too watched it twice the other night

Rest in peace, dame Margaret rutherford you're greatly missed a great lady thanks for this video❤❤❤

[@poddy6530]

I saw her once at London lighthouse in the 80s. There was three of us saw her. She passed us all blustery and we all were pontificating over how great it was to see her... years later I looked her up to explain who she was to someone. She'd been dead for years when we saw her... Make of that what you will..

[@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957]

Still love watching her films today. Fantastic actress.

Thank for takeing us on the jouney i and my family loved this so talented margaret rudder ford so funny she was wonderful blyth spirit ms marple heaven holds the very best

[@harri2626]

Thanks, Paul for taking the trouble to find Margaret's grave. I always loved her work, and had the pleasure of meeting her in her dressing room at Chichester in 1966 during the interval of "The Clandestone Marriage". Stringer was there also. She was delightful and patient at the idea of two snivelling youths invading her space, and she kindly signed my programme. RIP.

[@susansalt1965]

Lovely to see how well maintained their grave is. Love all her films, very watchable.

[@jayleigh4642]

Thanks Paul this was lovely to see as I loved them in the Marple movies May they test in eternal paradise 🙏🏻❤️

[@paulwalker1793]

She was absolutely brilliant.🌹

[@louiserose2609]

I loved her as Miss Marple ❤️

[@drsyn9616]

She insisted on Stringer Davi’s having a part in her later films that’s why he appears in a lot of them,it’s amazing how she turned out to be a wonderful lady and actress with the horrendous childhood she had.

[@fran-kittyayers5329]

God bless them both, 🙏 thankyou for making us smile, a talented and wonderful actress

[@wendyjones7753]

Brilliant actress and was well recognised for all the roles she played...what a beautiful grave site they both share.. shes not too far away from me.. would be nice to actually go there and place some flowers for them both from all of us here... thanks Paul.. wonderful as always xxx

Oh!! my goodnes one of my most favourate actress never forget her in Blyth Spirit so so amusing others have tried to recreate the character on film but have never succeeded.

[@garymansell8756]

Hi paul cracking vid enjoyed it a nice church and very interesting to learn about it. R.I.P. Margaret & Stringer.

[@carolsmith3336]

I love woching her films she was the first miss marpel she was a great actor bless her and her husband xxxx

[@villagewitch6600]

What a wonderful treat….I used to work in a hairdresser in Gerrards Cross when I was 13….Margaret Rutherford was a regular client and I was allowed to wash her hair. She was lovely and her husband ‘Stringer’ always brought her in and kissed her hand when he left her. On his return he always threw up his hands and said..’oh my darling, you look like a million dollars’ they were a joy. Later I worked in a film company in Gerrards Cross and my boss bought her house and I used to go and babysit for him there. I also went to St James church to watch Lulu marry one of the Bee Gees…happy days..thanks for the memories x

[@marklittler784]

Yeah think she lived in at least two different houses I believe I saw the right one in the centre three story next to the hotel

[@jonathanryan472]

Thank you for the videos and the church is fantastic to x

[@Mackeson3]

There is a lovely story told by the late composer/ conductor/harpsichordist Raymond Leppard about her. He had written a sort of musical play and she was one of the stars . In one scene she had to sit in a small boat on stage and pretend to row it. During a rehersal she was sat in this boat thing and it toppled over towards the rear of the stage taking Margaret with it! Anyway everyone got up out of their seats and made their way to the stage to see if she was alright. The next thing they saw was Margaret's head appear from behind the upturned boat, she did her famous " double chin wobble" then looked at everyone and then said in her own equally famous quiet but rather posh voice "Splash!" Does anyone remember seeing a biopic of her life "For One Night Only" starring Timothy Spall (In drag!) as Margaret? Of course Spall , who is such a fantastic actor, was brilliant as her.

[@angietunstall2555]

No, I didn't see the piece with Timothy Spall as Margaret Rutherford! How I missed that, I don't know, as I rate Timothy very highly; he's never been in anything rubbish. Loved his Boogie Up the River series with himself, his wife and Boogie, his dog 🐕 How long ago was it on?

[@carolineolsenarnold7039]

I agree with everything you said. Do you know how I can watch For one night only? Haven’t heard of it, and I love Timothy Spall.

[@timg1246]

It is not often that these message boards make me laugh out loud, but getting to the punch line of that story was fantastic. You can picture her perfectly in that story.

[@marklittler784]

Would be nice hearing more info about her that's not in the three books about her.

[@zoomzoom885]

Remember watching miss marple so sad they were still young when they died. Rest in peace Dame Margaret Rutherford and James Buckley stringer Davies your at peace and together in heaven doing your own miss marple.

[@marklittler784]

She was 80 when she died apparently her mother commited suicide when she was three and her father committed to Broadmoor not long after.

[@Rog5446]

I got on a bus many years ago and sat down and looked across at the opposite seat. Sitting in the seat was Margaret Rutherford. In my opinion, her best film was Passport to Pimlico.

[@goombabear]

I love her in Blithe Spirit and MGM's Miss Marple series with her real-life husband Stringer Davis.

[@odettewiddicombe4583]

It looks very clean and tidy

[@marklittler784]

One lady I met said she was given a lift by Margaret Rutherford in the Lake District in her chauffeur driven car once when she was walking in the rain.

[@crystaldance5731]

A favourite of mine this lady beautiful church Paul bonus you got to look inside some one must have been on your side thankyou Paul for this video 😊💕

[@marklittler784]

Would love to know the areas of the country Margaret Rutherford liked to frequent and other areas she lived, I know she was originally brought up by her aunt in Wimbledon.

[@marklittler784]

1950 first st Trinian's film "The greatest days of your life" with Margaret Rutherford & Alister Sim was absolutely hilarious they just don't make them anymore.

[@suesmith9202]

That's a beautiful church

[@margaretgrainger3400]

Hi Paul I have just been watching the last resting place of Margaret Rutherford, I was quite surprised to see an arm & hand near the top of the headstone as you finished talking was it your reflection? It certainly made me look many times. x

[@interestingplaces1]

Hi Margaret the problem with gloss finished headstones are they cause havoc with camera shots I think its either myself or the guy carrying all the bags, well I hope so, or maybe not, who knows, Hope your keeping well, Paul

[@anthonyellis987]

When the Doctor Who Magazine did a list of actresses that might've played the Doctor if it had been a female character, Dame Margaret Rutherford was the first Doctor.

Thank you so much, much appreciated gals you enjoyed this video, Paul

[@marklittler784]

Believe she lived in a apartment and a couple of houses at Gerrard's cross one next to the hotel in the centre when she moved to the area and finally a place at Chalfont st Peter. Denim the next village across was where miss Marples house was for the film's, a village that Rodger Moore, Cilla Black and John Mills had all moved into in 1970, I believe Lewis Collins parents lived there too opposite the nightclub.

Yeah especially "Trouble in store" where Margaret Rutherford shoplifted the train in the toy dept up her sleeve lol

[@carlturner6625]

@@marklittler784 Yeah int that the one where she stole the Case and put all the Stickers on it was the store called Burridge’s?

Apparently ex MP Anthony Wedgewood Benn, Tony Benn was Margaret Rutherford's cousin thirty years apart they certainly had outgoing personalities in common! 😄😅😄

[@marklittler784]

"Dreadnought with good manners!" what a name for a book on her lol
