Bledlow
Cully prepares to marry Simon while another grand wedding is disrupted by the murder of its maid of honour.
Casebook interpretation
Welcome to Bledlow
Bledlow is principally known through one case, making this a compact story-location file rather than a claim to a complete village history. Its recorded case material places it in the Casebook's landmark territory.
Editorial interpretation Where the programme has not established a resident, building or piece of geography, the Casebook leaves it unstated rather than turning inference into canon.
