Description
Discover the untold stories of those who kept the great country houses running during Queen Victoria's reign and beyond.
This fascinating book sheds light on the lives and roles of the outdoor staff, from gardeners to gamekeepers, who were the backbone of these estates. Through meticulous research and a wealth of rare photographs and documents, David S. D. Jones brings to life the often-overlooked world of those who worked outside.
Beautifully illustrated with period photographs and historic documents from the author's private collection, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in family and social history, as well as country house and estate life in a bygone era.
