We hope you enjoy this unusual episode of The Victorian Way. Here are the answers to some questions you may have about this video, from our expert historian. • How much of this conversation is based on real events? All of our videos are based on real events and people as far as we know about them. Thus, all of the people Mrs Warwick and Mrs Crocombe mention were real people, working in those positions (Katy Squires), or related to the Braybrookes (Sophia). However, beyond the bare bones information of the census and a few little extra bits, we don't know much about the day to day lives or beliefs of anyone involved, so we use quite a bit of creative license to illustrate themes and possible stories which might well have happened. All of the information behind the conversation is carefully researched, whether that's what life was like as a shop girl (yes, you did have more opportunities if you were tall and attractive), or the reasons someone might choose a vegetarian diet. In reality Katy (actually Kate Matilda) married a fellow servant, in this case a coachman, in 1888, which suggests she remained in domestic service. She and her husband had two sons, and when coaching declined as the motor car took off among the upper classes, the family decamped to Frant in Sussex, where they ran a pub. • Did Lord Braybrooke really weigh his guests?! Yes, this really happened. It wasn't totally uncommon - it was sometimes done at Sandringham as well. Nothing to do with grandstanding over food - Victorian scales weren't that accurate, so a few grammes here and there wouldn't necessarily have shown up. Plus, they weren't weighed again after dinner. It seems to just have been for a laugh. The vast majority of people wouldn't have had scales able to weigh people in their houses, so there is a show off element to it, but mostly it's a conversation opener. We still have some of the weight registers - not every guest is listed which may mean some refused. We know that in 1868 Lord Braybrooke weighed 10st 2lb and 8oz (about 65kg) and Lady Braybrooke was 7st 10lb and 8oz (49kg). • What's a vegetable goose? This is proof, if you were in doubt, that you really don't want to experience Victorian vegetarian food. It's essentially breadcrumbs with onion and flavourings, baked. Other versions used potato. It's worth noting as well that Mrs Crocombe certainly isn't proposing replacing the whole menu for Sophia, merely adding some dishes specifically for her. Meat was very prestigious, and vegetarianism very much a minority choice. If Lord Braybrooke had presented his guests with a wholly meat-free menu, he would quickly have gained a reputation as an eccentric and nobody would have come to dinner again. • Where are their table manners? Don't believe things you read in etiquette manuals! They were aimed at the upper middle class wannabes and social climbers. Mrs Warwick and Mrs Crocombe know who they are and they are not of the etiquette manual reading class (though Avis did eventually become middle class, in that she employed a servant of her own in later life). There are a lot of myths around tea taking, and most of them come from late Victorian and early 20th-century writers, desperate to highlight the differences between ever smaller class divisions. So throw out your beliefs about pinkies in and out, milk in first or last, elbows - and don't even start on the myths around the invention of afternoon tea! (Spoiler alert: not the Duchess of Bedford). • What's the 'still room'? The Still Room was originally a room where distillations happened. It got its name in the late Tudor era, when the lady of the house, together with her housekeeper, would distill medicines and make perfumes and confectionery. By the nineteenth century these functions had been lost, but the name stayed. It was part of the housekeeper's complex, and used by her to make jams and preserves, plus any household preparations such as hand creams and pot pourris. Bigger houses had a still room maid, whose role was to aid in this. The Audley End House still room is now part of the staff offices just off the housekeeper's room (now the cafe).

Also, I absolutely love the interpreter's choice to give Mrs Warwick the mannerism of using random French phrases in her speech, both in this and the laundry room video

"The tradition of weighing guests at the start of the three-day festivities dates back to the reign of Edward VII, who was king from 1901 to 1910. Edward decided that weight gain during their stay was indicative of how much his guests had enjoyed themselves." The tradition continues with the present day Royals at Sandringham for the Christmas period.

Just think it's wonderful that you bring life to Avis Crocombe's legacy, which would have otherwise been certainly forgotten to the public. Love these fictional touches which set the atmosphere. There are so many people trying out her recipes, I wonder what Mrs Crocombe would think if she knew this woud all be happening a century later.

If it was anything like my gran and her neighbour it would be with the chorus of: Ooooo well I never, ooooooh she didn't, she never did, well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.. I did hear she had to let all her daughters skirts out and it isn't from her eating, if you know what I mean......
