Who is Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey?
The eldest — cold front, deep water · The Crawleys
Mary Crawley (The eldest — cold front, deep water) is a character in Downton Abbey, part of The Crawleys. Lady Mary Crawley was raised to be the prize of the county and handed the era's insult instead: the estate goes to a stranger because she is a daughter. Beautiful, glacial and twice as clever as the rooms she decorates, Mary wars with her sister Edith on principle, buries one scandal involving a Turkish diplomat's inconvenient heart, and circles the new heir — a middle-class lawyer she has every intention of despising. The thaw, when it comes, is the show's central romance.
