About this Project
This website is an unofficial, historian-curated archive exploring England’s cultural memory, nostalgia and atmosphere in Midsomer Murders. On this topic, I’ve published an essay which is freely available. Lo and behold, it has the same title as this page: ‘Quintessentially English! The atmosphere in Midsomer Murders‘. I’ll be putting out some more focused articles in 2026.
But that’s not all: take a look at the only complete historical chronology of Midsomer County (sorted by year or by episode) and some articles on English history and context within the TV series.
