Mrs. Bates was the mother of John Bates. She lived in London where she was visited by Anna in 1914, who worked alongside her son at Downton Abbey. Anna was in London with Mrs. Patmore who was seeing an eye doctor, but she was also trying to find out the truth about Mr. Bates and his criminal past. Mrs. Bates, upon meeting Anna, told her the truth: the true criminal was her daughter-in-law, Vera. She said her son felt guilty for her ways, but she felt Vera was bad from the start. Anna later told Lord Robert Crawley what she learned.
Sometime after the outbreak of the Great War, Mrs. Bates died. She left her son money, "more than I [Mr. Bates] thought." Mr. Bates went to London for his mother's funeral then returned to Downton. Vera also learned of Anna's visit to Mrs. Bates before her death.
