| Description | The diaries contain brief entries for most days, summarising the main activities at Stanton Court. This is usually the arrival or departure of guests, or visits by the lady of the house to other members of the aristocracy (1935 Kelly's Directory lists Lady Margaret Mary Spicer as the owner.) The writer also mentions her own social activities, such as visits to the cinema or hairdresser on her day off, the comings and goings of fellow servants, and a summary of the weather. The writer appears to have family in Cambridgeshire, spending her holidays there. |
