The Cockwells

The Cockwells are a non-canonical couple created for LWT's 1983 TV adaptation of The Clergyman's Daughter. They are a young married couple staying as lodgers in the Red House owned by Monica Deane. They are shown only in flashback during an incident in their bedroom when the top of a four poster bed appears to collapse, an event which caused Mrs Cockwell to scream in fright. Monica later discovered that the posts appear to have been sawn through. Believing that the house is haunted by poltergeists, the Cockwells left the next day.

Mr Cockwell is portrayed by Ben Stevens while the wife is portrayed by Janet Hampson. Neither of them have a speaking part except for Mrs Cockwell's screaming.
