Downtown Abbey is a pretty good program on BBC America. However,
actual research suggests that British aristocracy treated most of the
domestic class like animals. In fact, I believe some hunting dogs had
it much better than your typical laundry maid. Yes, the Butler and
Housekeeper were treated with respect, but still, seems like this
program is quite inaccurate regarding the Victorian domestic class.
Maybe it's simply liberal Brit revisionist history at work again,
through the auspices of 'high entertainment' by the BBC.

I am cornfused. I wanted to visit Downton Abbey and see some of the
Grantham family history. I Learned on the documentary series that
it's in North Yorkshire but google maps has it in Wiltshire.

How do you report errors to google maps?

Also any travel tips for visiting there would be appreciated.

I'd not seen that before, thank you. We organised a trip for our Pension
Group to Highclear Castle after the first series, well worth a visit, and
the staff were charming to a person.
