Description
From Downton Abbey to Bridgerton, it's clear that for centuries of English life, 'below stairs' was very different world to above.
In 1851 there were over one million servants in Britain. This concise introduction covers a range of domestic service in the nineteenth century, describing the work and conditions of servants and giving an insight into the strict social hierarchy, just as strong among staff as it was in broader society.
