Servants: The Hidden Occupants of Winckley Square (SOLD OUT)
About
Behind the elegant façades of Winckley Square lived a hidden world of servants whose lives were governed by strict rules of silence and invisibility. These men, women, and children kept the grand townhouses running smoothly, yet were rarely acknowledged by the families they served.Step back in time with Susan Douglass on this fascinating guided walk as she uncovers the stories of those who lived and worked in the shadows — from cooks and maids to footmen and nursemaids. Discover where they came from, how they lived, and what became of them when their service ended.
This walk reveals the human stories behind the polished doors and sweeping staircases, bringing to life a forgotten community that helped shape Winckley Square. Expect surprising details, poignant tales, and a fresh perspective on a place you thought you knew.
