Although I'm not particularly religious, like many this time of year, churches always figure in my thoughts.
One or two churches do, of course figure in a couple of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's TV series, along with classic Doctor Who serials.
Here's some photos I've taken of them during my location travels.
The church below, The Church of St Mary The Virgin at Church Hill, Harefield doubled as St David's in the Joe 90 Christmas episode episode, The Unorthodox Shepherd. The episode was also the inspiration for The Secret Service series.
The same church can also be seen at the end of the UFO episode, The Square Triangle, where Liz Newton attends Jack Newton's grave.
An interesting group of church locations Scoop.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, I worked on location at the St Lawrence Church in Hawkhurst, Kent, on the Sylvester McCoy DrWho story 'The Curse of Fenric'.
Thanks Mish. You must have some great memories working on those later classic Who stories.
DeleteMagnificent buildings, and as always, great photography really brings them to life! SFZ
ReplyDeleteCheers Zigg. It's always fun to visit locations from my favourite shows.
DeleteI haven't Googled it, but the Church location for American Werewolf in London comes to mind...
ReplyDeleteHi Lewis, all the best. I have seen American Werewolf in the distance past, but not being much of a horror fan I must confess I'm not familiar with that church. To be honest the only people I can remember in it are the late Rick Mayall having a minor role in a pub scene, and, of course, the lovely Jenny Agutter.
