Wednesday, November 9, 5:30-7pm on Zoom
What was life like below the stairs at Downton Abbey? Could the chauffeur really marry the daughter of the Earl? Would a maid help move a dead body to protect her mistress’ reputation? Historian Kathy Wilson reveals the answers to these questions and more in this program focusing on the realities of domestic service at Highclere Castle, the real Downton Abbey, during the 20th century.
