Songs of Praise

Katherine Jenkins meets creative Christians in Torbay and discovers the fascinating history of the ancient Torre Abbey. Abbey manager Lucinda Heron takes us through the building's rich history, and we meet head gardener Ali Marshall, who has been faithfully maintaining the beautiful grounds for 14 years.

Katherine also speaks to Martin Harris, leader of Christian drama company Unleashed, which helps support locals struggling with homelessness and addiction by teaching them to perform. The company's most recent, award-winning film project tells the story of how one of Torbay's churches became one of the UK's first to be open to people who could not afford to pay for pews.

Gemma Hunt meets Geoff Ward, aka Sandyman, who believes God helps him create amazing pictures in the sand, including one of the Songs of Praise logo. Tapestry artist Jacqui Parkinson demonstrates how she creates her splendid, silk-woven panels depicting stories from the Bible. Her most recent exhibition, Threads through Creation, is on its latest stop at Exeter Cathedral, and dean Jonathan Greener talks about what it means to host the installation.

Plus hymns sung outdoors in different locations around Britain's beautiful coastline.
