The laundry maids would be busy washing and ironing all the laundry for the house. Footmen had oil lamps to clean and fill, silver to polish, glass to wash and coal and wood to supply for all the fires.
If jobs were done, there may be an hour or two off in the afternoon to put their feet up, but work started again by 4pm There was hot water to be carried to the bedrooms for washing, beds to be turned down, curtains to be closed, fires kept going, lamps lit, the servants' evening meal to be prepared, the dinner table set and a six-course meal served for the family upstairs.
Finally to bed
And the last person to finish work would be the scullery maid who would need to finish all the washing up after the dinner party, before she could climb the stairs at about 10pm to her attic bedroom for a good nights sleep, ready for a new day tomorrow.
