David Jones presents a unique look into the lives, roles, and responsibilities of the outdoor staff of the great country houses during the golden age of Queen Victoria's reign to World War I. Through his meticulous research of estate records, biographical works, private diaries, and from many other sources, a fascinating and comprehensive insight is given into the relatively unexplored subject of the outdoor staff, despite them being the backbone to the sustainability of the great estates.
