Mr Majeika

Used as the location for St Barty’s Primary School in the 1988 - 1990 ITV series Mr Majeika, the lead role played by Stanley Baxter.

Mr Majeika was shot around various Matfield locations, including grade one listed Matfield House, which formed the backdrop to the fictional St Barty's Primary School, with internal sequences shot in the Garage.

"People don't believe in wizards nowadays, so naturally they don't often pay them to do some work."
—Mr Majeika

With a carefully restored Georgian house, a delightful courtyard range of traditional buildings - some being renovated and some restored - plus orchards coupled with the formal gardens and all the modern embellishments, Matfield lends itself to both period and contemporary filming.
