Episode 2
Costume drama. James Dowland arrives in town, taking the woes of the Lark Rise tenants under his wing as he aims to put Candleford on the map with the opening of his new hotel.
From Lark Rise to London and back to Candleford, James Dowland is the new man in town who takes the woes of the Lark Rise tenants under his wing. He also takes the heart of Dorcas Lane into his keeping, while putting Candleford on the map with the opening of a new hotel.
Robert Timmins is suspicious of Dowland's motives, and is less than accepting of his financial help. Emma Timmins and the other Lark Rise tenants are, however, more than happy to see the return of a once Lark Rise boy.
Meanwhile, Dorcas has her own heart strings pulled with her new maid, Minnie. Minnie can do no right; she means well, but with her troubled past she struggles to contain her excitment, testing Dorcas and those around her to the end.
