A churchyard in Sale has been transformed into a grisly crime scene during filming for a new TV police drama.
Film crews have pitched up at St John the Divine Church.
Today a forensics tent was pictured in the grounds and the church gates were cordoned off.
It's part of filming for the second series of crime drama Traces.
Produced by Media City-based Red Production Company - the firm behind hit shows such as It's A Sin, Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley - the series originally aired on Alibi in December 2019 and was re-run on BBC One earlier this year.
It focuses on three female forensic professionals working together at the Scottish Institute of Forensic Science (SIFA) - as they uncover the truth of a murder case and bring a killer to justice.
Line of Duty star Martin Compston, Breaking Bad's Laura Fraser, Molly Windsor (Three Girls), and Jennifer Spence (Stargate Universe) are among the cast.
Traces is set in Dundee, but regularly uses locations around Greater Manchester.
Earlier this month crews set up outside the old magistrates' court in Bolton and in 2019 the derelict and fire-damaged former Partington Social Club was renamed 'Secrets' when it was used for the show.
Traces is based on an idea by best-selling crime writer Val McDermid.
Series two, which is set to air on Alibi later this year, sees SIFA officers carefully analyse traces of evidence to help get to the bottom of who's behind a series of bombings in Dundee.
