Joanna Lumley as Dolly Bantry
Dolly Bantry is the wife of Colonel Arthur Bantry, and a friend of Jane Marple. She and her husband lived at Gossington Hall in St. Mary Mead.
Dolly was devoted to her husband and her garden - not necessarily in that order. She and Arthur had four children, two sons and two daughters all of whom were grown up and had left home before the Bantrys moved to St. Mary Mead. After Arthur's death Dolly sold Gossington hall using the proceeds to modernize the lodge which she kept to live in and to travel and visit her far flung children.
