A new programme with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, featuring a Lancashire church, is due to air tonight.

The vicar and community around St Oswald’s Church in Preesall were last year involved in filming for the series about “lost foods” in the UK.

And it is now due to be shown on Channel Four tonight at 8pm.

Jamie and Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast, originally called Food Fight Club, was at the church on August 13 and 14 for two days of filming. Jamie Oliver, alongside fellow celebrity chef Jimmy Doherty, made a film about Tosset Cake, which is a biscuit flavoured with caraway seeds and coriander seeds.

Local vicar, Rev Shaun Baldwin, said: “Jamie’s visit was a fantastic moment for the community and a great catalyst for the revival of an old traditional festival rooted firmly in the church’s history, which came about originally as a result of the importance the church has always played, and continues to play, in the local area.
