Every good murder mystery needs a pub where suspects drink their secrets. For the film, the production team used a real, working pub called The Star in the village of Ripley. This is not a set; it’s a pub where real people have argued about football, complained about the Wi-Fi, and, presumably, never solved a single homicide.
The Thursday Murder Club's 12-acre grand estate is less than two hours
If you go there, you can sit in the same booth where the actors pretended to be friends while secretly accusing each other of being the killer. Just don’t ask them for the murder board. They’ll probably just hand you the menu for their Sunday roast, which is honestly more satisfying than any fictional confession.
The Church That’s Seen Some Things
A crucial scene involving a funeral (because obviously, you can’t have a cozy murder without a suspicious funeral) was filmed at St. Mary's Church in Bishops Waltham. This church is old—like, “built before your great-great-grandparents were a twinkle in someone’s eye” old. The filmmakers didn’t even need to add cobwebs; the place has them built in.
You can almost imagine the church’s vicar saying, “We usually do weddings and baptisms here. But sure, let the film crew use it for a fake death. It’s been a slow month.” The gravestones outside are real, though. Don’t trip over one. The groundskeeper is probably still annoyed about the chalk markings they left last summer.
