Based on the novel by celebrity vicar, Reverand Richard Coles, ‘Murder Before Evensong’ follows the story of a community in a sleepy English village that becomes entwined in a murder spree after controversial plans are revealed to install a toilet in the church in the heart of the village.

Filming for the show will be taking place on the road until Wednesday (April 9) (Image: Olivia Warburton / NQ) Actor Matthew Lewis, best known for portraying Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter franchise, has been cast in the lead role of Canon Daniel Clement, a member of the clergy on a mission to keep the community together and find out who is responsible.

Filming for the show has been taking place across the West Midlands, with crews having been spotted in Bridgnorth back in February.

The series is set to be a six-part murder mystery and is due to air later in 2025 on Channel 5.
