Mary Ann Teale

Mary Ann Teale was a nosy neighbour of the Oldroyds, but the kinder one out of her friends. Mary attended Albert Oldroyd's funeral in 1914, and gossiped about his daughter Margaret with Ava Bainbridge, Joan Carr and Betty Porter. Mary Ann was the only one who didn't make a rude comment about the way Margaret reacted to Albert's death, instead asking her friends if Margaret knew her old flame Ralph Verney had returned to Beckindale. Mary Ann stood up for Levi Dingle when Ava accused Levi of shooting himself to get out of the war. She subsequently became one of the very few villagers to stand up to Ava. Following Ava's death in The Woolpack fire of 1915, Mary Ann made amends with Maggie and Hugo Dawson, who had been branded a "coward" by the villagers.
