19 - Life Below Stairs at Alnwick Castle

From the grandeur of the State Rooms, this episode of the Alnwick Castle Podcast looks at some of the people who kept it all running, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries when domestic service was at its height. We are joined on the podcast by Nicola, who has conducted extensive research into life below stairs at Alnwick Castle, to find out more about the lives of the butlers, maids, housekeepers, chefs and footmen that once worked at the castle.

If you love Downton Abbey or watched Alnwick Castle appear on that series as Brancaster Castle, you might find this episode especially interesting to hear how things really were!
