Below stairs in the great country houses by Adeline Hartcup (Second Hand)

A vivid and engaging social history of life “below stairs” in Britain’s great country houses. Adeline Hartcup explores the working lives of servants from the 18th to early 20th centuries, revealing the strict hierarchies, demanding routines, and personal stories of the men and women who kept the great estates running. Drawing on records from major houses such as Holkham, Hatfield, Petworth, Wilton, Woburn, Attingham, and Chatsworth, the book blends social commentary with rich anecdotal detail. Ideal for readers interested in domestic service, social history, and the hidden world behind aristocratic life.
