Nancherrow is a British TV movie sequel to Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home. It aired on ITV television from 4 to 5 April 1999.[1] The story is set in the country mansion called Nancherrow on the Cornish coast.[2]
In a review for The Mirror, Charlie Catchpole wrote that "It required patience, stamina, a stiff drink and a box of man- sized Kleenex to get through to the end of Nancherrow".
After the Colonel dies it is his daughter, Loveday, who inherits the house and all of its problems, including dry rot.[3] Bewitched by the magic of Nancherrow, Loveday fights to keep the estate going so that, in time, her young son Nat may inherit same, while dealing with the reappearance of her one true love Gus and her failing marriage to Walter.
Meanwhile, Judith is finding life as the wife of a busy doctor difficult, especially after suffering multiple miscarriages. It is a time of much change and heartfelt expectation for everyone at Nancherrow.
Nancherrow is available on DVD in the UK.
