This mini-series is based on three of Elizabeth Gaskell's novellas and is brought to life by an all-star cast. The story follows the lives of the inhabitants of a northern market town in the mid 1800s. Amongst other things the arrival of a new doctor and the ever-encroaching railway provide the townsfolk with plenty to get excited about.

Character Bio

Recently widowed, Mr Buxton has returned to his native Cranford with his son William and niece Erminia after a two-year absence. He can be blunt and volatile, often speaking and acting before thinking, but he is loyal, generous and down to earth. Though personally happy to live a quiet, unassuming life in the country, he has great ambitions for William, whom he is determined to see “marry up” and enter into politics.
