Agnes Greenwood

Agnes Greenwood was wife to Oakenshaw Park keeper George Greenwood and mother to Lizzie and Robert.

Agnes was well aware that she wasn't the only woman in George's life. He had dalliances with several of the women who came into his park, which though entirely platonic made George feel tremendously guilty. The telltale sign that George had been with another woman was that he'd surprise Agnes with whipped cream walnuts.

On one such occasion, when Agnes arrived at George's work shed after visiting her ailing aunt, she spotted a mystery woman's scarf after receiving the walnuts. The scarf belonged to Hilda Ogden, who was seeing George behind Stan's back. Agnes returned the scarf to Stan and told him how she came by it, thus shedding light on why Hilda had been giving Stan the red carpet treatment of late. Agnes advised Stan to milk Hilda's guilt, as she did with George. Stan did so but this only made Hilda feel worse, leading her to write a note confessing to Stan. A further complication arose when Hilda learned about Agnes visiting Stan however, not knowing the identity of the woman, she assumed that her absence had driven Stan into another woman's arms, and told George she couldn't see him anymore.

Three years later, George and Hilda met again when George judged flowers and veg at the Community Centre flower show. George told Hilda that Agnes had died in the interim.
