Actress Wendy Craig was in Ryedale today filming an episode of Songs of Praise.

The star of the 1970s TV

programme Butterflies was visiting Rievaulx Terraces and Rievaulx Abbey as part of a general tour around her favourite spots in Yorkshire.

Simon Leigh, from English Heritage, said some filming would also take place at Rievaulx Temple,

depending on how dry the weather was.

"It's nice that Wendy chose this particular location as one of her favourite because it is a beautiful place," he said.

"I understand she will be

walking around the terrace and then offering a prayer during the filming."
