Summary

The village of Maids Moreton dates back to the 13th century and gets its name from two maiden wenches who are said to have financed the building of the parish church, St Edmund. Maids Moreton is a typical English village – small, tranquil, green – a real community built around the church where generations of the same families have lived for centuries. It’s not the kind of place you would expect to find murder and deceit. But that’s exactly what was found lurking in Maids Moreton in 2017 when not one, but two suspicious deaths were brought to the attention of Thames Valley Police… What follows is a tale of forbidden love, betrayal, fraud and of course murder… And it’s all set against the backdrop of the Diocese of Oxford. Honestly, this couldn’t be more like an episode of Midsomer Murders if it tried. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast www.beer52.com/red www.betterhelp.com/red Theme music composed by Holly-Jane Shears - check out her amazing work at www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.
