Servants At Erdigg - A Glimpse into Victorian Domestic Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a rare glimpse into the lives of the dedicated domestic staff at Erdigg Hall, the esteemed residence of the Yorke family in Wrexham, North Wales. Taken in 1852, this daguerreotype showcases the diverse group of individuals who tirelessly served their aristocratic employers. In this portrait, we see an array of hardworking men and women fulfilling their respective roles within the household. From head gardener James Phillips to coachman Edward Humphries, each servant played a vital part in maintaining the grandeur and functionality of Erdigg Hall. The laundry maid Elizabeth Alford and dairy maid Mary Davies ensured that linens were pristine and milk was plentiful. Ruth Jones stood as head housemaid overseeing daily tasks while William Price tended to the gardens alongside James Phillips. The photograph also introduces us to key figures such as footman William Stephenson, head nurse Eliza Rogers, cook and housekeeper Mrs Webster, butler Thomas Murray, ladys maid Elizabeth Hale, under nurse Sarah Evans, carpenter Thomas Rogers, and hall boy Edward Davies – all essential cogs in this well-oiled machine. Through this evocative image from Hulton Archive/Getty Images collection comes a reminder of an era when servants formed an integral part of upper-class households. It offers us a unique opportunity to reflect upon both their contributions behind closed doors and their place within Victorian society. (Note:
