Joshua Grice

In the novel The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, Joshua Grice is a farmer who lives at Lower Farm in St. Mary Mead. He and his wife are among the guests invited upstairs to meet Marina Gregg and Jason Rudd on the day of the fête at Gossington Hall. The reason for their being invited is not explained.

Portrayals
In BBC's 1992 adaptation of the novel, Joshua Grice and his wife are mentioned by Dolly Bantry in the list of people she saw coming up the stairs just when Marina Gregg had her “Lady of Shalott” look--as though she has had a shock, suggesting that she might have seen someone or something in the direction of the stairs. The characters are not credited but may be seen in one scene where they are climbing the stairs behind the mayor. Dolly Bantry tells Miss Marple that the Grices "have been having trouble" but does not elaborate.
