Henry Hogson & Co. in Midsomer Murders

by Petra Tabarelli

Midsomer Murders mentions a number of historical figures from Midsomer County, of whom Henry Hogson is probably the most searched for. We take a closer look at some of them here. Note: As this post is about Midsomer history, I won’t be mentioning any recent Midsomer celebrities such as top model Lizzy Thornfield, F1 champion Duncan Palmer, horror film actress Stella Harris or folk...

(Update as of August 2025) This page explores precisely that thought experiment. On the virtual map, you will see a blue dot for one or more events in the history of Midsomer County whose filming location is known to me. The information about...

Hello, I’m Petra Tabarelli – Midsomer Murders fan and a historian.

I was looking for a website like this and couldn’t find one – so I made it.
For others who, like me, were looking for it, and can now find it. Quite subtly.

Whether you’d like to share your thoughts, collaborate, or simply say hi – I’d love to hear from you.

Just drop me an email → click.

I’d really appreciate it!

 

I would like to point out that this is an unofficial fan site. I am not connected to Bentley Productions, ITV or the actors.

 

About me

Actually, I’m a football (rules) historian and run the archives of Bingen on the Rhine in Germany. But also, I am a fan of Midsomer Murders. You can hear me in the superfan quiz on the official MM podcast “Midsomer Murders Mayhem” in episode 6: “Murder on St Malley’s Day“, episode 13: “The Ballad of Midsomer County“, and episode 15: “The Dark Rider“.

Well, I admit: my English heart does not primarily play for the counties in the west and north of London. (Joan Street, on her excellent website about Locations of Midsomer Murders, describes this area very appropriately as “Barnaby Land”.) My first visit to England lead me to North Yorkshire and Teesside… and it was love at first sight – the landscape, the accent, oh, and gravy! Although Barnaby Land is of course very, very pretty and idyllic. Murderously idyllic!

I am also a proud member of the Midsomer Murders Society.

Behind the Lace Curtains – Midsomer Murders as a Tale with Two Englishnesses

by Petra Tabarelli

When people speak of Midsomer Murders, they tend to see it at once: a lane shaded by hawthorn, manor walls half-hidden by wisteria, the brass band on the village green where children run barefoot. Caroline Graham’s Inspector Barnaby stories – the first five forming the bones of the pilot and the early series – draw deliberately on that image. They echo the interwar idea...
