Margaret Jennings

Margaret Jennings was a woman who went holidaying to Beckindale with his husband in February and March 1979. The pair were greeting coldly, with Joe Sugden warning them to keep their dog on a lead. Whilst on a walk, they walk past Arthur Braithwaite's farm Bull Pot Farm, and speculate that a tramp lives in there. Arthur overhears this, and furious, he points his gun at them until they leave. They also ask Henry Wilks about an empty cottage they are interested in, but are told by Amos Brearly that it belongs to NY Estates for their employees.

A few days later, in The Woolpack, Amos interviews Joe for an article about tourists for the Hotten Courier. Joe goes on a rant about how useless tourists are - in full view of David and Margaret who storm out angrily. This results in David flicking a can top onto Emmerdale Farm land, killing an ewe and costing the farm £200. David and Margaret refuse to pay this and ignore Joe's attempts to get them to cough up before leaving the village to return home.
