Biography

Bevan, through unknown means, has discovered the secret romance of Mary Crawley and Anthony Foyle that the latter and the former experienced in 1924.

Bevan worked at the Grand Hotel Liverpool as a chambermaid and stole some documents regarding Mary Crawley and Lord Gillingham. The documents presumably contained the information that Mary and Lord Gillingham had adjoined rooms during their stay.

Series 6

Bevan arrives at Downton Abbey when Robert is holding a riding. She follows Mary around the racing area, and after the race is done, Mary approaches her. Bevan reveals her knowledge about Mary and Gillingham's secret romance, and wants 1000 pounds as return for her silence. Mary refused that and tells Bevan to leave, but the latter says that she will be back.

Bevan, pretending to be a housemaid in employ of Violet Crawley, walks into Mary's bedrooms, and restates her threats. After Mary refuses once more, the latter's lady's maid Anna Bates drags Bevan out of the house.

During her third visit, Mary is not present as she traveled to Thirsk. She instead speaks to Robert Crawley, Mary's father. Bevan tells Robert about Mary and Gillingham's romance. Robert threatens her to be thrown into prison if she does not sign a confession to blackmail and take 50 pounds instead of 1000. Bevan, left with no other options, leaves.
