Explore churches which have been used as filming locations across the UK
Churches offer some of the most magnificent architectural locations in the UK. From spectacular backdrops in Hollywood movies to everyday life events in favourite soap operas and from the grandest cathedral to the humblest parish church, they are as indispensable on screen as they are in reality.
Churches are part of our everyday landscape. Imagine a view over a countryside valley without intriguing towers and spires popping up to entice you. They are also the places we go to celebrate key life events; birth, marriage, death. As such, they are also part of the landscape of our worlds.
Sometimes they are churches, sometimes they are something else altogether. The fun is in spotting them, and then visiting the real life locations of our favourite on screen moments.
How to use the map
Explore our map, listing churches across the UK which have been used for filming. Where a film or TV show has used multiple locations we have pulled out their entries into a separate section on the map - so if you're a Potterhead or a Whoniverse geek you can find all the relevant locations easily in one list.
If you click on the left arrow on top of the map, you will be able to find the key. We've split the map into film, TV and some specific films or TV shows, such as Harry Potter and Doctor Who.
If you know of a location we haven't included, please let us know.
