Parser games (any system, any age) with English rural setting/atmosphere - an IFDB Poll

I'm looking for any parser game (modern or vintage) that is set in an English, rural, Victorian overall ambient, both indoor and outdoor. As an example, something in the mood of The Hound of the Baskervilles, with moors, villages, mansions to explore. No magic systems; mystery/puzzle oriented, but anything is worth a try.
