Elizabeth Mapp

"Au reservoir!"

- Mapp's characteristic expression

"Ought I to say a few words do you think? I feel Tilling would think it very remiss of me if I didn’t?"

- Miss Mapp

Elizabeth Mapp is the co-protagonist of the miniseries and the collection of E.F. Benson novels.

BBC Overview
A spinster with a shark-like grin and an appetite for social domination.

Mapp is a formidable schemer and spends her days sitting in the bow window of her delightful home Mallards, opera-glasses in hand, noting and deliberating on the business of her neighbours. She considers herself the social arbiter of all things in Tilling - proud purveyor of garden produce, host of the most refined tea parties and woman in-the-know. Often resorting to underhand moves to maintain her position; Mapp is no stranger to plagiarism, gossip and bribery. And she does it all with such stamina, a whirlwind at the heart of Tilling!

Lucia’s arrival presents Mapp with the perfect opportunity to cement her position. She hopes to ‘run’ Lucia and mete her out to her fellow Tillingites but in this instance, she may have bitten off more than she can chew…
