Glad you like it. Great film to rewatch - sometimes it seems so familiar that it becomes part of the cultural wallpaper, but maybe that's it's sharpest weapon: it looks and acts like a respectable heritage drama until you notice the killing.

After a little research, I can confirm that there were indeed more than twenty or so buildings in Britain prior to 1896. I've amended my massive historical typo. This was screened for first-year students this morning, so I'd be interested to see whether it can still sway a crowd, or whether it really is becoming a quaint relic. I reckon it's a good corrective to any straight-faced heritage drama.
