- California Doubling: Though the stories are set in and around Shrewsbury, England, filming actually took place on specially constructed sets in Budapest, Hungary, because very little of Shrewsbury's Medieval architecture remains.
- Fake Nationality: Englishman Derek Jacobi as the Welsh Brother Cadfael.
- The Other Darrin: Sheriff Hugh Beringar is played by three different actors in the course of the series: Sean Pertwee (Series One), Eoin McCarthy (Series Two and Three), and Anthony Green (Series Four).
- Real-Life Relative: Derek Jacobi's long-term partner, Richard Clifford, plays the glover in St. Peter's Fair.
- Referenced by...: Lenny Henry spoofed the show with his "Cadfool" sketch, in which he played Brother Cadfael as a hard-boiled, snarky, cigar-smoking homicide detective.
- What Could Have Been: Ian Holm was originally cast as Cadfael, but owing to production delays, he had moved on to other projects by the time the series was ready to begin.
