Members' Week:
Explore part of the house not otherwise open to the public, and learn the personal and professional secrets of William Lincoln, butler to Charles 5th Lord Braybrook in the late 1800s
You will see the tools of his trade, and the family silver collection in his care. You will discover more about his responsibilities for the comfort and safety of the Braybrook family, and his role in setting standards for the servants under his command. But did William himself live up to those standards? Hear the evidence and decide for yourself!
