Christina Hardyment conducted a fascinating quest into the history of housekeeping through the well-preserved properties of Britain's National Trust, among them Petworth, Uppark, Shugborough, and Lanhydrock. To reconstruct the ingenious methods used by earlier generations to make a house a home and to keep themselves warm and well-fed, she squirmed through drains, poked around sculleries and cellars, and clambered into icehouses and up chimneys. The result of her explorations is an informative, amusing text that recounts not only the history of the kitchen, the bathroom, and the laundry, but also investigates bakehouses and breweries, dairies and dovecotes, the lamp room and the larder. Accompanying Hardyment's descriptions of what she found in great mansions, humble cottages, medieval castles and Victorian townhouses are archival documents and accounts and a wealth of color photographs, many taken especially for this book.
Originally published by Penguin as Home Comfort, this book was republished with wonderful images in both colour and black and white from the National Trust’s superb photograph library. I was lucky enough to be allowed to browse through the photographs myself, cherry-picking my favourites. It begins with the allcomers welcome, male-dominated houses of medieval times, exploring the cellars and attics of Speke Hall, near Liverpoo and Cotehele in Cornwall, as well as many others. Then come such Tudor great houses as Charlecote, and classical mansions of the eighteenth century – those of Northern Ireland (Castle Coole, Castle Ward and Florence Court) remained especially rich in domestic quarters. The Victorians were amazingly inventive, most of all William Armstrong at Cragside, in Northumberland, where orange pots rotated hydraulically in the greenhouse. Butler’s pantries and housekeeper’s stillrooms, game larders, bakeries and breweries, laundries and dairies, were all necessities for these isolated worlds-in-themselves.
