Location details
We filmed the sequence with the wall paintings at Kempley Church in Gloucestershire. It's way off the beaten track, in a field, and although English Heritage look after it you can go in and look around in the summer months without paying an entrance fee. It's a magical place - go take a look!
The exterior carvings are on a church nearby - Kilpeck Church, in Herefordshire. You could easily visit Kempley and Kilpeck in a day. Kilpeck boasts the most incredible Norman carvings. Check out the corbel table - the line of sculptures around the guttering of the roof - some of which are surprisingly rude!
