Martha Lane

=Martha Allingham= Martha is Robin Lane's daughter, the village’s Methodist Minister. Strong-willed and opinionated, she wants to help the community and open their eyes to the changes that are taking place in the outside world. John Middleton in particular is a soul she wants to save, mainly because she wants to be close to Joe as it is love at first sight when she lays eyes on John’s son.

In series two she was unhappily married to George Allingham and began an affair with Gerard Eyre the local school teacher which resulted into them eloping together to Africa in 1924.
