Most of the village scenes in The Vicar of Dibley were filmed in the real- life village of Turville in Buckinghamshire, England. Interior scenes, like those inside the vicarage, were largely shot in studios in London.

Main filming village

  • The fictional Dibley is represented on screen by Turville , a small, picturesque village in the Chiltern Hills, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
  • Turville’s village green, surrounding cottages and lanes provide most of the exterior village shots seen in the series.

Church and vicarage

  • St Barnabus Church in the show is actually St Mary the Virgin Church in Turville, used for both exterior and many interior church scenes.
  • The vicarage exterior is a house next to St Mary the Virgin in Turville, while the inside of the vicarage was filmed on a purpose-built studio set rather than in the real house.

Other key locations

  • David Horton’s manor house exteriors were filmed at a property in Little Missenden, another village in Buckinghamshire.
  • Studio work for the series was done at BBC facilities in London, which were used for many of the interior sets throughout the show.
