Father Brown is a popular BBC show filmed in the Cotswolds.

Here are some of the locations used to film Father Brown.

The Church of St Peter and St Paul

The Church of St Peter and St Paul in Blockley is a key landmark in the series, serving as Father Brown's St Mary's Church.

It features prominently in many church and village scenes, contributing significantly to the show's visual identity.

In Blockley, the vicarage beside the church serves as Father Brown's home and presbytery.

The village green and nearby streets are used for establishing shots and everyday scenes in Kembleford.

Moreton-in-Marsh

The former hospital in Moreton-in-Marsh is used for several interior and recurring set locations, including Father Brown's kitchen, his study, and Kembleford's police station.

Guiting Power and Upper Slaughter

Guiting Power and Upper Slaughter are additional Cotswold village locations in the series.

These villages feature in exterior scenes that require a classic Cotswold look.

Winchcombe Railway Station

Winchcombe Railway Station is used in the programme to add a period-travel feel to episodes requiring rail-side or arrival scenes.

Sudeley Castle

Sudeley Castle is another Gloucestershire location used by the production.

Its historic setting provides a grander backdrop for episodes needing more than village streets and churches.

Worcestershire

In Worcestershire, the old hospital at Moreton-in-Marsh and other nearby heritage settings help expand the production's Cotswold footprint.

Cotswold Lavender was used in season 10's episode "The Hidden Man".

Bourton-on-the-Water

Bourton-on-the-Water's model village was used for an episode, and Broadway Tower appeared as Helmsley Tower in "The Tower of Lost Souls".

Ilmington and Stanway House

Ilmington in Warwickshire and Stanway House are part of the wider filming map, contributing to the fullest possible Father Brown location list.

These locations contribute to the show's authentic Cotswold feel.
