Monthly Meeting
Most of us are curious to know what goes on behind the closed doors of great houses and Jill, a long-standing volunteer at Baddesley Clinton, is just the person to satisfy our curiosity. While she has given much time to researching the owners of the house and thus contributing to publications and exhibitions, she acknowledges that the servants are her great interest. In this talk we will hear about the lives of those working at Baddesley Clinton from 1923 until it passed to the National Trust in 1980.
