The Barchester Chronicles is a 1982 British television serial produced by Jonathan Powell for the BBC.[1] It is an adaptation by Alan Plater of Anthony Trollope's first two Chronicles of Barsetshire, The Warden (1855) and Barchester Towers (1857).[2] The series was directed by David Giles.[3] Location work was videotaped in and around Peterborough Cathedral, using locations such as the Deanery and Laurel Court.[4]

Plot overview

The clerical community around Barchester's cathedral is rocked by a press investigation into the finances of Hiram's Hospital almshouse. Following the death of the bishop in the midst of the controversy, the chaplain and wife of the new bishop lead a reforming crusade, which arouses strong opposition within the diocese. These public events have a significant effect on the private lives of many of those involved.
