The Six Bells
The Six Bells is a pub beside Warborough’s village green, with a thatched roof, weatherboarded timber framing and a familiar place in the village streetscape. The early eighteenth-century public house, possibly partly earlier, retains former stables and an open fireplace. The green, church and surrounding cottages make Warborough a memorable village to explore on foot. Midsomer has returned to the pub many times, dressing it as locals in different fictional communities. Its best-known role is the village pub in Midsomer Market in Market for Murder; later it appears in Midsomer Newton, Midsomer Mere, Dunstan and several other villages.
The pub’s setting is as important as the building: its position by the green gives scenes a recognisable centre for village life. In Warborough itself, the church and open green make a compact walk, with the pub anchoring the southern edge of the common. The visitor information below will help you check current details before travelling.
