Lady Adelaide - Olivia Grant
(Click on Photos to Enlarge)
Sir Timothy is married to the very beautiful Lady Adelaide, who is regarded as a much more suitable match than Dorcas to somebody of Sir Timothy's standing.
He's very fond of Adelaide and I think he loves her but they are completely different people. He loves the country whereas she loves the town; he cares about his tenants, his people, whereas she doesn't really relate to them. She's never been around people like this in her life before. It's hard for her but she does come good and learns to care about people."
Lady Adelaide is desperate to have a child which causes a strain and tension in their relationship.
Lady Adelaide's family made their money in trade, so marrying Sir Timothy was a step up for her into society. But life in Candleford hasn't proved to be entirely what she'd anticipated. It's a world away from the balls and parties where she first met Tim. So, until they start a family, she has few distractions. For the residents of Candleford and Lark Rise, Adelaide's a less approachable, more remote figure than Sir Tim. But they respect her and warm to her as his wife. She brings a touch of glamour to the town, she's graceful, beautiful and stylish, and to outsiders her life is to be envied.
