| The church has featured in Midsomer Murders (The Killings at Badger's Drift , A Worm in the Bud, Birds of Prey, and Death's Shadow), Miss Marple, and in The Four Feathers. John Nettles writes 'The churches where we film are romantic and haunting. One of my favourites is Bledlow Church because I love its architecture and simplicity.' |
