    Victorian working women have shot right to the top of my list of scariest people because of these videos.

    Did you notice that ever since she became popular, all of these "Victorian Way" videos includes a cameo from Mrs. Crocombe even when she's not the focus of it? It's a very smart move on English Heritage's part, even though I kind of feel guilty that it's come to that. Not complaining one bit! Mrs. Crocombe can click bait me all she wants! On that note, we want to see more Edgar the Gardener too!!!!

    Buttermilk for ink? I must try that. I hope this new laundry maid realised how lucky she was being able to laze in bed until 5 am (apart from 3am on Monday) when a typical scullery maid was up at 4 every day to scrub out fireplaces and light them!

      Most people back in those days slept quite early though, unlike us in the modern era. Back then, lighting at night meant quite the cost in terms of resources - candles, oil lamps,and gas lamps all costed money, and weren't the best at keeping things well lit anyways. So it was common for people to sleep early after the sun has set and wake up at the crack of dawn.

    Sarah, is that the same girl who lends Mrs. Crocombe a laundry tub for making mince pie?

      yes! I do believe these characters are meant to be recreations in honor of the real workers who lived and cared for the estate. Or at least I'm almost certain I read that Mrs. Crocombe is
