I, Jack Wright was filmed primarily across Hertfordshire and London, with additional scenes shot in Paris. The English Home Counties provide exactly the right atmosphere for a story about what people will do when the money runs out. And the Wright family's grand country estate turns out to be a Grade I listed Tudor manor in Buckinghamshire that you can visit.
The Wright family's fictional country estate – called Marston Hall – is Chenies Manor House in Buckinghamshire. A Grade I listed Medieval and Tudor house, the oldest parts of the building dating from the 15th century, Chenies Manor is not a private secret. It is open to the public for visits and tours. The estate includes beautiful gardens set in different themes, an undercroft with underground tunnels, a priest hole, two mazes, an isolated farmhouse, extensive attics, and 400 acres of fields and woodland surrounding the main building.
Other productions that have filmed here include Enola Holmes, Silent Witness, Killing Eve, Spooks, Midsomer Murders, and Netflix's The Crown — which used Chenies to portray Chartwell House, Winston Churchill's home.
St Mary's Church, North Mymms, Hertfordshire
Jack's family gather to bury him in a church with big sun-filled windows. The church is St Mary's in North Mymms, Hertfordshire – a 13th-century Grade II* listed Anglican building whose interior and churchyard both feature in the series.
Filming took place both inside the church and in its grounds. St Mary's has previously appeared in The Crown and EastEnders which says something about the church's versatility.
