Mrs Churchill was the wife of the brother of Mr Weston's first wife. She and her husband, Mr Churchill, live at Enscombe in Yorkshire and raised Mr Weston's son, Mr Frank Churchill after the death of Frank's mother. Although never seen directly, she makes demands on Frank Churchill's time and attention that prevent him from visiting his father. Her potential disapproval is the reason that the engagement between Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax is kept secret. Her death provides the opportunity for the secret to be revealed.
