Time travel with our Living History day in October - the shooting season is in full swing, which means little free time during the day in the servants quarters. Several invited guests require attention from the footmen and butler to ensure they are appropriately dressed for the outing.
Many have also brought their own servants with them, so the Housemaids are prepping apple pie beds for the evening. With many more mouths to feed, the finishing kitchen is a hive of activity. Kitchen staff are preparing large baskets and hay boxes for hot steamed pudding lunches out on the estate, as well as making sandwiches for the beaters later in the day.
