Plot – Downton Abbey is a British historical drama television series set in the early 20th century on the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey between 1912 and 1926. The show is a chronicle of the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their domestic servants in the post-Edwardian era, and the effects the great events of the time have on their lives and on the British social hierarchy. Through the series we see clearly that we are all part of the same human condition whether we are upstairs or downstairs.
