Treetonshire

Welcome to Treetonshire

Where murder has no manners, but you can still take afternoon tea

“Known to the natives as Treet, the county was a rural lover’s rapture. Rolling patchwork hills, resplendent meadows, and sparkling brooks made it the place to escape to …” Wenark Green, Deadly Dough

In blissful, historic villages, thatched roofs and worn cobblestones hide dodgy characters and dodgier deeds, leaving police baffled and locals aloof. Where in the world, you ask? Read on. 

Treetonshire, a fictitious county in southwest England, is largely based on the cosy counties of Somerset, and nearby Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. Known colloquially as Treet, the predominately rural county has a coastline to the north and a majestic, rolling landscape of patchwork fields, hills, pastures, and ancient woodland. A breathtaking panorama interspersed with fashionable towns and picturesque villages. 

The underlying geology is a mix of clay soils in the valleys and lowlands, helping to support a wide range of biodiversity and agriculture, with spectacular limestone hills dominating the upper regions.

In the heart lies Treeton, the county town and largest settlement, with the magnificent River Sol snaking through. The local economy centres around agriculture, especially cattle, pig, and sheep farming, although part of the coastal lowlands cultivates cereal crops, such as wheat and barley. In hillier areas, timber and peat are commercially grown and extracted.

Treetonshire has a colourful, macabre past, with public executions and harsh punishments being the fate of wrong’uns foolish enough to get caught. The county even boasts historic witch trials instigated by sinister puritan witchfinder, Henry Pink, the subject of a play performed by Treeton Thespian Company in Horrid Herbs.

Linkville—Where Village Matters Matter

“Linkville … Where Village Matters Matter, saw a random number of members meeting to discuss rural affairs. Not just issues concerning Bogus Hole, but all eight villages on the fringe of and including county town, Treeton, which had crept into the mix.” Wenark Green, Fatal Fungus

Linkville Community Council is the voluntary organisation acting as the local area’s voice to address topical issues. The roles of office bearers are currently held by:

Chairperson (Brian Longbottom)

Treasurer/Secretary (Nellie Longbottom)

The husband and wife team hold the most responsibility for Linkville’s effective operation. This doesn’t mean they do all the work, but are accountable for overseeing matters per the village community council’s established scheme standard. Unfortunately, Brian’s belligerence and Nellie’s gauche gaffes mean efficiency and grace are often lacking.
