"To the Manor Born" is a British comedy
about the life of Audrey fforbes-Hamilton, a woman of some means and no
small reputation. When her husband dies she is horrified to discover that
she is bankrupt and must sell her beloved Grantleigh Manor to Richard DeVere,
a London businessman. Her reduced circumstances find her moving into the
Manor's lodge, where she can keep an eye on DeVere's activities at the Manor
while she schemes to reclaim her ancestral home. |
