Looking for less known, more obscure. I have received lots of ideas but I am looking for more.
So far people have listed:
Kate & Leopold, Bleak House, Merchant Ivory Films, Cold Comfort Farm, Vanity Fair, Mansfield Park, BBC's North & South.
Still searching for more.
Thanks for any help!

You should check out that new show on Showtime when it comes on called "The Tudors." Granted, that's a little before the periods mentioned up top there, but it looks fantastic and sweeping.

Elizabeth - Along that same era as above, this a totally awesome film. Cate Blanchett is stunning.

Also, check out PBS's "Jane Eyre" miniseries. My mom and I watched it and simply ate it up. Such a terrific story and extraordinarily acted.

An Ideal Husband

A Little Princess - From the view of the children. This movie always makes me a little sad.

Gosford Park

Those're all that come to mind for England, because you've picked all of my favorites. ;) But if you feel like branching out to other countries, I recommend:
The Count of Monte Cristo
http://imdb.com/title/tt0245844/
and
Brotherhood of the Wolf

The Bronte sisters are brilliant for that stuff, check if the BBC has made movies of Wuthering Heights, Shirley, Villette, and The Professor - they're all well-known period novels that have probably done the run as movies or telemovies. BBC also did Sons and Lovers which is great, but it's actually about 6 hours long.

The Forsyte Saga doesn't go back quite as far in history but is still a compelling mini-series out on DVD (A Masterpiece Theater production.)
I like your taste in movies!
