Have you ever pondered what life as a servant in an extremely wealthy 20th century home would have been like? Ever wondered about the fact vs fiction as portrayed in pop culture, like Downton Abbey?
During the tea, guests will enjoy a specialty talk from Parkwood’s Curator, as she shares social history tidbits meshed with the collected servant memories from the Parkwood Oral Histories Archive. Along with memories, a variety of artefacts and servant props will be used as a descriptive show and tell.
Guests will enjoy tea, scones, and preserves
