A maidservant or in modern terms a maid
A maidservant or in modern terms a maid is usually a female person who is employed within the domestic service industry. A maidservant was once more commonly part of a much larger more elaborate hierarchy in large houses.
In recent times the domestic cleaning maid may be the only domestic cleaner that upper and even middle-income households can afford to hire.
Maids in general can offer the household a wide range of typical domestic cleaning chores such as cooking, ironing, clothes washing, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, walking the family dog, and even taking care of the families children.

Hello again,
I just commented on another of your bllog entries about Char Ladies.
I came across this one about Maid servants and thought I would comment. My first is about the photo showing what I think to be of a male court attendant. Is this right? I would have thought something depicting female servants like

to be more in keeping with the maid servant theme. please correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Kim.

Hi Kim,
You are more or less correct about the photograph, it is of my son Robert dressed up in a Tudor outfit. I am always wary about taking photos from other sites and in my own collection I did not have an old style maid photo.
Regards
Robin
