When Does "Downton Abbey: The Movie" (2019) Take Place?

"Downton Abbey: The Movie" is a historical fiction film written by Julian Fellowes that released September 13th, 2019. So when is "Downton Abbey: The Movie" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1927? AD 


We know this because Edith Pelham says to Herbert "Bertie" Pelham, that she will give birth when he leaves for Africa in March of 1928 AD. She is not yet visibly pregnant so it must be about 8 months before March of 1928 AD, which makes it July of 1927 AD. 

3.1,928 - 8 months = 7.1,927. 

It is the first chronological film in the Downton Abbey story [each being sequels to the TV series "Downton Abbey" (2010)] and can be watched at its timeline point before "Downton Abbey: A New Era" (2022)
