Henry Hogson & Co. in Midsomer Murders

Published 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 musician Johnny Carver. However, another feature is planned which will feature some of them. As soon as it is online, it will be linked here. Spoiler warning for episodes: 03×04: Beyond the Grave, 06×04: A Tale of Two Hamlets, 07×03: The Fisher King, 12×02: The Black Book, 17×02: Murders by Magic, and 18×05: Saints and Sinners

Map of Midsomer County – History Edition

What if… Midsomer really were located in England? And specifically where it was filmed? Where in Midsomer’s history would that be? (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 the location opens when you click or tap on a blue dot: the real location, the Midsomer location, and the event from the Midsomer story that happened ‘there.’     If you are generally interested in film locations – with and without history – then Sabine Schreiner’s 2025 newly published in revised and updated form Location Guide Midsomer Murders and Joan Street’s website is just right for you.
