Topic: Housemaid


In the News (Mon 4 Jun 12)

  
  Stoke Goldington Association - Gayhurst House: Life Below Stairsat Gayhurst,
The third housemaid did the bedrooms of the housemaids, the lady's maid and the laundry maid and all these rooms were on one landing and the 2nd and 3rd housemaid shared a room, so you got to know one another very well and that was all helpful when you were living away from home.
Monday evenings, the third housemaid had to go into the laundry and help fold the linen and it was a huge pile of table cloths and sheets and all of the linen of the house including the housemaid’s aprons, caps, and dresses, but the housemaids were responsible for washing their own personal clothing.
It was in there that the housemaids had to sit and mend all the linen of the establishment not her ladyship’s personal things because the lady's maid was responsible for that.
