Wiki.

The Mayor of Casterbridge is a 1921 British silent film drama directed by Sidney Morgan and starring Fred Groves, Pauline Peters and Warwick Ward. It was an adaptation of the 1886 novel The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy and was made with Hardy's collaboration.

The film was largely filmed in Sussex, mainly in Steyning and partly at Morgan's Shoreham Beach studio, with other scenes filmed in the Dorset town of Dorchester, the actual setting of Casterbridge.
