National Trust on Screen: Discover the locations That Made Film and TV Magic

About Harvey EdgingtonLauren Taylor

Harvey Edgington was Londons first full-time film officer having created the role at the London Borough of Greenwich. Harvey swapped housing estates for country estates by setting up the National Trust Filming and Locations Office in 2003 a department he has headed up ever since. Lauren Taylor has worked in the National Trusts Filming and Locations Office since 2005 most recently as Filming and Locations Manager. Her first shoot was Pride and Prejudice at Basildon Park still one of the most complex the Trust has ever hosted. She thought it couldnt get much more complicated than building a set within a house prior to filming involving 200 supporting artists candles horses carriages dancing and night shoots. She hadnt yet encountered the Poldark toads (see page 33). Lauren has gone on to manage shoots for films and TV dramas as diverse as The Crown Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Bridgerton.
