Event details

Discover the real 'below-stairs' experience of houses like Downton Abbey through the eyes of those who served. From the butler, the maid and the cook of 1900 to the au pairs, cleaners and childminders who took their place 70 years later, Author Lucy Lethbridge will discuss, in an interview, how she brought to life the voices of servants and domestic staff, largely ignored by history.
