Katherine Jenkins visits Syon House in west London to discover its rich Christian history and to look back on some of her favourite moments on Songs of Praise.

In the grounds of Syon House by the Thames, Katherine hears about the enormous medieval abbey that once stood on the site and the radical community of priests and nuns that lived there.

Katherine recalls her trip to Caldey Island off the coast of south Wales, one of Britain’s most ancient holy sites where one of the monks, Brother David, tells her about the spiritual heritage of the island, which stretches back over 1,400 years.

There is another chance to see Katherine’s visit to the chapels within the iconic Tower of London when she met the first female Beefeater. Then, from the ancient to the modern, Katherine recalls her time in the thriving Gas Street Church in Birmingham, home to a congregation of over 1,000 people.

With music from across the UK, including Katherine’s favourite hymns and an exclusive performance from Hollywood star Luke Evans.
