Erddig
Erddig near Wrexham is one of the most fascinatingly human of all National Trust houses — a late seventeenth-century mansion that is famous not just for its fine state rooms but for the extraordinarily detailed records it kept of its servants and staff. The collection of portraits of servants, domestic outbuildings, and working estate buildings makes Erddig a uniquely democratic vision of country house life, where the people below stairs are as vividly present as their employers.
- Unique portraits and records of servants
- Complete working estate outbuildings
- Fascinating 'upstairs-downstairs' story
Best for social history enthusiasts who want to see a country house from every angle — above and below stairs alike.
