Agatha Christie and her husband are buried at St. Mary's Church, Cholsey, Oxfordshire.

In a sense, Christie is buried in deepest Miss Marple territory. Even the church name evokes St. Mary Mead, the town associated with Miss Marple. It is where she attended church.

A mile or two north of Cholsey is the town of Wallingford, where the Christies had their main house, Winterbrook House, from 1934 until her death in 1976. It is still a private house - shown below. The River Thames is behind the camera, across a field.

Wallingford feels more like St. Mary Mead than Cholsey does, especially the picturesque St. Mary's Street:

Greenway in Devon near Torquay was the Christies' holiday home. It is open to the public. It inspired a number of her mysteries, including Five Little Pigs and Dead Man's Folly.
