Episode Synopsis

Dr James Taffe is a Tudor historian, who specialises in exploring the activities of those above and below stairs at this time in history, and so in this episode I chat to James all about the different aspects of service in the 16th century, from helping the monarch dress, to gatekeeping unwanted guests, and of course, exploring what was actually involved in that oh so glamorous sounding job of groom of the stool!
