Miss Octavia Pole

About the town busybody and gossip, Octavia Pole, known as "Miss Pole".

Description
Miss Pole is the spinster, the town gossip, the always knows all, and judgemental of all lady of the town. Once Miss Pole knows something, you can be sure the whole town will know it in a day. She is portrayed by Imelda Staunton.

Relationships
She has no family alive, nor a husband or children, but she is great friends with the ladies in the town. Being the main gossip (among the many gossiping ladies) she always knows what is going on, and is often paying calls to her friends to tell them the latest news.

At the end of Cranford, it is mentioned that she perhaps had a relationship with Peter Jenkyns in earlier years, but it never comes to anything.
