The Revel (Pageant) was reported in many of the national newspapers and over 8,000 people attended the event over the four days it was performed (including the dress rehearsal). Around 300 players took part, mostly from the village of Butleigh itself, and below, over 200 of them have been listed by name, and pictured where certainly identified. Since I first put this site online further pictures and albums have surfaced in which individual actors are named. The principal source has been the album of the Revel Director Daniel Mildred which his great-nephew Peter Awdry generously allowed me to copy along with images from his other albums. I have now re-written the book below and all known images are contained therein. Some files are very large and will take a while to download [I had intended to shrink them but decided against it]. The copyright to all images belongs to the owners and acknowledgements are made to them in the introduction.
The cast list below is a duplicate of that in the book but with some links to portrait images
