Hey hey!

I was wondering the same thing. A few years ago I looked up 'watcher' in google and a website came up detailing where everything was. Alas it has now gone :(

I know the house used as Mr Keller's home also served as Hill House in Robert Wise's 1963 horror classic 'The Haunting'.

The house the family lived in (from what I can remember) is actually part of a country club. I remember seeing that you could stay the night and such.

Pinewood studios was used for filming also, i am guessing for the interiors.

I would love to find the woods that this was filmed in, and the chapel. But I am guessing that they are scattered locations around the south east of england. I doubt the chapel would still be standing now.

Thats the place used as Keller's house in 'WINW'.

I found a interview with the director and he says this....

What about the chapel set for the final scene?

Everything was reconstructed with the same Production Designer, Elliot Scott. A wonderful man, an old time English production designer. They had saved all the parts of the set. Everything was reconstructed, and then a wall, and a doorway was shipped back to Burbank to shoot where Bette Davis walks in.

The interiors of the chapel was a set it seems.
