Rainy 1820s Hollingford | Period Drama Ambience | Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives & Daughters | 1 HOUR

Do you like relaxing ambience videos? Check out my new video.

The sleepy little English provincial town of Hollingford is unusually quiet. A storm has rolled in, and the locals have retreated from the street into the safety of their homes, to refresh their persons and take up a quiet book or their worsted-work. A lone candle has been placed in a window overlooking the street, where a carriage from Cumnor Towers is patiently waiting to escort Lady Harriet home.

Lady Harriet, the daughter of the old count and countess Cumnor, is almost a radical in her views, and so challenges the country’s social and class structures by regularly visiting the Miss Brownings, Molly Gibson and her old governess, the ‘Miss Clare’ (now Mrs Gibson), in Hollingford.

Genuinely enjoying the rustic and parochial manners and peculiarities of the locals, Lady Harriet takes the local gossip home with the hope it will provide some entertainment to the convalescing Lady Cumnor and her attentive husband, Lord Cumnor.

*This video was inspired by the rainy proposal scene in the BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel, Wives and Daughters.
