This sounds like a discount Downton Abbey. Being an heiress, romance by rich males (the women LI's may be new), being a Brit, the pre-smartphone era, and another word for place in the title! Estate, Abbey, etc.

It's the same thing! Just one is better! If they want to make themselves different, give us more ethnically diverse characters, and deal with heavy topics. Like homophobia in the 1800's, sexism, and racism! (All of which I condemn.)

FYI: I love Downton Abbey. It has heart  and lovable characters.
