Father Brown

In 2012 the BBC made an initial series of Father Brown, based on G. K. Chesterton’s fictional detective, using Blockley church and vicarage as their location.

With a worldwide audience, the programme has been a great success, and brings  visitors from around the globe to our church and village.

Father Brown has now completed eight series, filmed in the Church, in and around Blockley and other local villages. A ninth series has just commenced filming (April 2021). It will be shown in January 2022.

Dana, our Vicar also made her mark by being included in scenes as an 'extra'. Father Brown appeared most delighted with her performance!

To raise funds for the upkeep of the church, some very attractive Father Brown memorabilia has been created using original artwork by our very own Barbara Dunn. A fine bone china mug, a greeting card, a jute shopping bag and a linen teatowel are all on sale at Blockley Shop. All make ideal presents or souvenirs and provide much needed funds for the church.
