Well done on posting the photo - I find it quite difficult!  While you were posting I did some Googling and found this:

" Albert Finney not only starred in the 1963 Oscar-winning Tom Jones, which had a stag hunt scene filmed at Cerne Abbas and Cranborne House as Tom's stately pile, but returned more than 20 years later to Milton Abbas and Sherborne schools to star as a weary schoolmaster in The Browning Version"

tho now I've seen the photo I don't think it's much use!

Thanks Heatherlynne for the infomation.

The gentleman on the horse is Aubrey Read born in 1884 and died 1n 1973, who was a groom who I presume was use to look after the horses. Chriss.

Not too sure but the film may well be "A Gipsy Cavalier" which was directed by J. Stuart Blackton in 1922 staring Georges Carpentier and Flora La Breton. There is a scene in the film whereby a post-chaise is trapped in a flooded area. A post-chaise would be used in the same manner as is shown in this image with the coachman riding the lead horse.

Nice one OR.  ;)
I was going to say that the makeup on the characters looks like that  used in 1920s films.
Cheers
