St John the Baptist Church

St John the Baptist is the ancient parish church of Little Missenden, set beside the River Misbourne in the Chilterns. A place of worship has stood here for more than a thousand years; medieval wall paintings and a prominent image of St Christopher are among its notable features. The village setting is equally inviting: a small historic centre, lanes beside the river and a footpath network into the surrounding hills. That atmosphere makes the church a natural screen landmark. Its best-known Midsomer role is the parish church of Angel’s Rise in The Witches of Angel’s Rise; it also appears as churches in Midsomer Parva and Great Worthy.

The church is a strong stop for visitors interested in medieval art as well as the show, and the wider village can be explored on foot. Its quiet, historic interior lends a sense of continuity to several fictional parishes, even as the setting changes from case to case.
