Details
For over 400 years Richmond Green has been surrounded by houses and commercial properties, first built to provide accommodation for people serving or visiting Richmond Palace. Unfortunately only parts of Richmond Palace still exist however, with classic Georgian and Victorian properties and a Victorian Theatre as a backdrop, it is a very popular location for productions to film.
TV dramas such as Poirot, and more recently Grantchester and New Tricks have visited the Green to film. Richmond Theatre and Richmond Green has also played host to the BAFTA tribute to the Downton Abbey cast.
GRANTCHESTER
