Thirsk is a village that is six miles from Downton village[1]

This is where Mr. Cox, a Downton supplier, owns a produce store. This is later purchased by Jos Tufton.

Alfred, Thomas, and Jimmy go there to exchange the dried ginger Tufton had brought to Downton for fresh ginger. Tufton invites Mrs Patmore to the County Fair which is being held in Thirsk. Later, many of the Downton servants and Tom Branson attend this fair.

Rose goes there, so she says, to shop, but in truth to meet her then-boyfriend Jack Ross. Tom happens to be in Thirsk at the same time and spots them, relating this information to Mary.

Notes[]

  • Real life Thirsk is northeast of Ripon.
