About this book

Hilda Newman wrote a book titled "Diamonds at Dinner: My Life as a Lady's Maid in a 1930s Stately Home." The book offers a fascinating look into a lady's maid's life at a stately home in the 1930s. Lady Coventry employed Hilda Newman as her maid at Croome Court, a magnificent mansion in Worcestershire. The book discusses Hilda's experience enlisting in the army to serve a countess, the hard labor of the staff, the beauty of the home, and the housing royals used to flee German Germany. It provides a rare window into the affluent lifestyle of one of the most illustrious families in Britain and transports us to a bygone age that the Second World War would ruthlessly destroy.
