Pagford is a town within the country of England. Following the recent death of Pagford Parish Council member Barry Fairbrother, dark events are happening in the town as people compete for the vacant seat.
Behind the scenes[]
Pagford is said [1] to be a portmanteau of the real-life West Country towns Padstow and Chagford; although they are not particularly near each other, nor to Yeovil, the real-life equivalent of Yarvil.
