Peter Jenkyns

About Peter Jenkyns, the long-lost brother of the Misses Jenkyns.

Description
Peter Jenkyns is a somewhat wild yet wise man. He left for India many years before Cranford takes place, and returns at the very end. It is shown that he is living with his sister Matty during Return to Cranford. He is portrayed by Martin Shaw in Cranford, and by Nicholas Le Prevost in Return to Cranford.

Relationships
He seems to be a dear brother to his sister Matty, and seems to love her very much. It is assumed that perhaps his relationship with Deborah was never very strong.

He never truly forms an attachment to any one lady in Cranford, though it was suggested that perhaps he was in a relationship with Miss Pole as a young man, though it never goes anywhere in the series.
