Happy Advent from Midsomer Tours

Window nº 2
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Oxfordshire

Henley Town Hall and Market Place feature in scenes from “Last Year’s Model” (episode 51, series 9). Annie Woodrow is in court, charged with the murder of her best friend. The area outside of the court building is filmed at Henley Town Hall (seen here) and Market Place, although the courtroom and anteroom are at Kingston-upon-Thames 30 miles away!

Barnaby (John Nettles) is unconvinced about Annie’s guilt and has a discussion with clinical psychologist Pru Plunkett (Siobhan Redmond) about the case, with DS Ben Jones in attendance. That scene takes place in the bar of the Argyll pub, in Henley Market Place. Henley Bridge also features in the opening sequence as the prison van drives across. Later, Jones is “persuaded” to hide in a wardrobe and, upon hearing the signal from an air-horn, jumps out to catch the culprit.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Henley-on-Thames include:
Dead in the Water, Down Among the Dead Men, The Black Book, The Magician’s Nephew, A Sacred Trust, The Lions of Causton.

The Blue Badge Guides from Midsomer Tours (Bobbie, Debs and Graham) are all fans of the series. We all live in the area and know the locations and episodes well. We can take you on coach and walking tours of many Midsomer Murders filming locations.

Window nº 6
WATLINGTON, Oxfordshire

The Chequers features as “The Star” in scenes from “Bad Tidings” (episode 30, series 7). This is the first time we meet Sergeant Dan Scott, who takes a shine to Cully! Cully is organising a 10-year reunion with her old school friends who have several secrets to hide, including a baby, who is taken for nocturnal walks in a pram with a squeaky wheel! As Inspector Barnaby investigates the murder of Midsomer Mallow locals Fiona Thompson and Dr Charles Rust, Cully learns more about her friends’ pasts, which puts her in danger!

Watlington lays claim to being Britain’s smallest town, smaller than some large villages.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Watlington include:
A Tale of two Hamlets, Dark Autumn, Dead Man’s Eleven, Judgement Day, Midsomer Rhapsody, Orchis Fatalis, Ring out Your Dead, Sins of Commission, The Green Man.

Window nº 8
LONG CRENDON, Buckinghamshire

As its name implies, Long Crendon is a long village. The High Street is separate from the main road and therefore is easily closed for filming. At the end of the High Street are the church and Long Crendon courthouse (pictured). This early 15th century building is a fine example of early timber-framed construction.

In the Midsomer Murders episode “The Dagger Club” (episode 101, series 17) there are interior and exterior scenes where the courthouse is being used as the Luxton Deeping bookshop. Without giving too much away, the killer is shown to be left-handed. All very sinister.

The pub, the village shop and Church House have all featured in Midsomer episodes. The High Street has also been the scene of parades, and many buildings from the very attractive small cottages to the Manor House have often been put to good use as Midsomer residents’ houses.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Long Crendon include:
A Tale of Two Hamlets, Blood on the Saddle, Blood Wedding, Dead Letters, Death and Dreams, Garden of Death, Not in my Backyard, Second Sight, The Axeman Cometh, The House in the Woods, The Oblong Murders, Things that go Bump in the Night.

Window nº 4
OLD AMERSHAM, Buckinghamshire

Sometimes the Midsomer Murders crew leaves its spiritual home in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and goes further afield, as in the 100th episode “The Killings of Copenhagen” (episode 100, series 16) which was mainly filmed in Denmark. Our budget does not stretch as far as to follow them. However, other scenes were shot closer to home in Old Amersham. The High Street and the town hall (pictured) are often used for positioning shots, and the old maltings, a short distance away, doubled as the Calder biscuit factory, where the culprit was eventually tracked down.

Amersham is often used in other films and TV series, most famously in the film “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (not to be confused with Midsomer’s “Four Funerals and a Wedding”).

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Amersham include:
Blue Herrings, Dead Man’s Eleven, Death in Disguise, Death of a Hollow Man, Sauce for the Goose, The Killings at Badger’s Drift, The Killings of Copenhagen, Who Killed Cock Robin?

Window nº 7
TURVILLE, Buckinghamshire

The village of Turville is no stranger to television and film crews. Most famously it is the setting for the television comedy series “The Vicar of Dibley” starring Dawn French. It is also the location for “Goodnight, Mr. Tom” and of the windmill in “Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang”.

Midsomer Murders has visited Turville a few times. In a memorable opening scene in “The Straw Woman” (episode 34 series 7) a huge bonfire is lit on the village green. Unfortunately, the parish curate has been drugged, is trapped inside the bonfire, and is burned to death. Later, two other characters also suffer a horrible death by burning. Visitors to the green where the scene was filmed often remark how much smaller it seems in real life than on the “small” screen.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Turville include:
Dark Autumn, Murder on St. Malley’s Day, Schooled in Murder.

Window nº 5
NETTLEBED, Oxfordshire

Yes, they just had to bring John Nettles to film at Nettlebed didn’t they? And the big house nearby is called, appropriately, Joyce Court. Although there is no connection with Nettles’ family, Joyce Court was once the home of the Fleming family. Their nephew, Ian Fleming, used to visit, picking up ideas for his James Bond books. That building is soon to be converted into luxury apartments but was used as Bledlow Manor in “Blood Wedding”.

The building pictured here, Nettlebed Village Hall, might not be familiar from the outside. But its interior has been used three times as a dance hall, most nostalgically for a 1940s evening in “Dance with the Dead” (episode 52, series 10). Tom dances with Joyce, Ben Jones dances with Cully and in between times three murders are committed - and solved.

As so often happens in Midsomer Murders, different parts are filmed elsewhere, and exterior shots of this dance venue were filmed at a school 10 miles away!

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Nettlebed include:
Blood Wedding, Dance with the Dead, Death and Dust, The Ballad of Midsomer County, The Magician’s Nephew, The Maid in Splendour.

Window nº 3
HAMBLEDEN, Buckinghamshire

This farm, just outside the village of Hambleden, has been used in at least two episodes including “Death of the Small Coppers” (episode 118, series 20). The story is not about little police officers dying. It refers to butterflies of that name, and Barnaby’s investigation into the death of a butterfly collector who is also a founding member of an elite society, Circulus. Danish actress Ann Eleonora Jørgensen reprises her role from “The Killings of Copenhagen” to assist Barnaby and Winter.

Hambleden village itself is well-known to the Midsomer Murders crew. It includes a small vehicle-repair garage that has been used in four different episodes, the obligatory pub and church, and a village street that just oozes Midsomer. Nearby, at Mill End, the lock, weir, and mill on the River Thames are very familiar for the times when the script calls for a drowning or river scene.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Hambleden or Mill End include:
A Dying Art, A Vintage Murder, Blood Will Out, Death of the Small Coppers, Down Among the Dead Men, Strangler’s Wood, The Glitch, Who Killed Cock Robin? Wild Harvest, The Animal Within.

Window nº 1
LITTLE MISSENDEN, Buckinghamshire

This was where it all began. Much of the filming of the pilot episode, “The Killings at Badger’s Drift” (episode 1, series 1) took place here. This is still mentioned by some people as their favourite episode.

In the beginning there was no name for the county of Midsomer. Caroline Graham did not refer to Midsomer in her books, although she does mention Causton, and some real places in the area such as Uxbridge and Slough. There is even a rumour that the pilot was provisionally titled “The Missenden Murders”. Later, the name Midsomer is believed to have come from Midsomer Norton in Somerset.

Little Missenden has been used for the filming of many subsequent episodes, most notably the church, the Red Lion pub and The Manor House (seen here).

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Little Missenden include:
Bantling Boy, Dead Letters, Death and Dust, Destroying Angel, Four Funerals and a Wedding, Picture of Innocence, Small Mercies, Talking to the Dead, The Killings at Badger’s Drift, The Village the Rose from the Dead, Who Killed Cock Robin? Echoes of the Dead.
