- "Can I kiss you before I go?"
- —Jane Moorsum's last words in the series. [src]
Jane Moorsum is a housemaid portrayed by Clare Calbraith.
Jane was employed to work at Downton in 1917 because she was widowed after her husband died in the Battle of the Somme; she came to Downton Abbey looking for work in order to support her 12-year-old son, Freddie, after Ethel was forced to resign and was in service until 1919. She was easily hired and her mother took care of Freddie if he should need it while she is working. She was shown to have feelings for Robert, feelings that he returned, and the couple have shared a few kisses. Robert helps Freddie, a keen mathematics student, get a scholarship to Ripon Grammar after Jane hands in her notice and leaves.
