Explore the lives and living quarters of the servants as we uncover new research and areas usually closed to the public.
A special behind the scenes tour during our winter hours, this small group tour takes a look at the servants' areas of the house including cellars, cold store and the outdoor wash shed. Along the way hear tales of the housekeepers who called the Lodgings their home.
Please note that this tour includes low ceilings, small rooms, steep steps and areas with minimum lighting.
