Sacred Inspiration
Katherine Jenkins visits a unique church in Gloucestershire with medieval art on its walls. She also visits the Chapel of Our Lady in the Crag in North Yorkshire.
Katherine Jenkins explores sacred inspiration at St Mary’s Kempley in Gloucestershire, home of unique 12th-century Bible paintings. Historian Dr Michael Carter explains their origins, and expert Rachel Turnbull reveals the remarkable close-up detail. Katherine also hears about the Chapel of Our Lady in the Crag in North Yorkshire, a tiny space carved into a rock which has become a place of pilgrimage for many Catholic visitors.
JB Gill visits Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church in London, designed with unusually impressive architecture. He reveals its legacy of sacred music-making and progressive Christian faith. Katherine then meets PJ Crook, celebrated artist to the rock and pop world, who now uses prayer to inspire her paintings, including a beautiful altarpiece she has created for her home church in Gloucestershire.
