Judi Dench wearing period dress, on a set in Lacock

Dame Judi Dench has expressed her support for Lacock Post Office, the setting for a recent BBC production, in which she appeared.

In a letter to North Wiltshire MP James Grey, she wrote: "I am sorry that I am unable to come to Lacock to support the campaign as I am currently away filming but I wish you great success in keeping the Post Office open."

Dame Fiona Reynolds, Director General of the National Trust, has also expressed support, through a letter to James Grey.

She wrote: "We have indeed expressed our concern regarding the proposed closure of the Post Office at Lacock and have written to object formally to this. As you will know there is strong local support for this facility."

MP James Grey said: "I am delighted that both the National Trust who own Lacock Post Office and Dame Judi Dench who starred in the recent BBC serialisation of Cranford which was filmed in Lacock, have written to me to express their support for our campaign to keep the post office open."
