Mrs Copleigh

In the novel By the Pricking of My Thumbs, Mrs Liz Copleigh and her husband live in Sutton Chancellor. Mrs Copleigh is short and round, and has her blonde hair rolled up in sausage curls. Tuppence Beresford describes her like a character straight out of the pages of a novel by Dickens.

During the summer she takes in paying guests. She makes an exception for Tuppence, despite it not being July.

In the 2006 adaptation, Mrs Copleigh is reworked into the character Hannah Beresford.
