The household staff of Downton Abbey carries out their duties with effortless dignity, finesse and pride. Yet how do they know how exactly to lay the table, when to leave the room to give Lord and Lady Grantham their privacy, how to care for Lady Mary's furs and which uniform to wear when? This recently recovered and fascinating staff handbook answers all of these questions and more. Covering all the main positions of the Downton household―footman, lady's maid, housekeeper, groundsman and more―and with a general introduction for new members of staff from Carson the Butler, this book tells you everything you need to know about working below stairs in the grand estate of Downton Abbey. Review: Cute book, quick read! - Fun book! Big fan of the included cleaning recipes & garment care tips, which line up pretty well with other ones I've read in Actual Household Manuals of the era, so whoever was ghostwriting for Mr Carson did their research. ;-) Everything I know about wine circa the 1920s (very little) I learned from this book. A solid 25% of the text reads like a passive aggressive personal attack on Thomas Barrow, but so do most of the words that come out of Carson's mouth, so props for accuracy. I cannot imagine this would appeal to anyone who isn't already very into Downton Abbey, but they're not the target audience. Casual reading will provide additional context with which to approach the show (what do the servants spend all their time doing when they're not on screen?); close reading will give you Word-of-God insight into the downstairs characters (Carson, like his long-term protégé already aforementioned, has some unresolved daddy issues). If you've got the money (or the digital credit) to spare and a prior vested interest I don't think you can really go wrong here. Review: Short but sweet - Wonderful read, even if you don't watch the show. I first learned of this book on the Celebrity PA Network's website, which also states the Downton Abbey family was real, which I did not know. The book isn't so long, but it's meaningful. I highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,059,432 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #148 in Television Dramas #430 in TV Shows | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 738 Reviews | ## Images ![Downton Abbey: Rules for Household Staff - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LffTDdhfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute book, quick read! *by L***N on September 1, 2020* Fun book!

I first learned of this book on the Celebrity PA Network's website, which also states the Downton Abbey family was real, which I did not know. The book isn't so long, but it's meaningful. I highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it, but one tiny issue *by S***S on February 9, 2018* I really do love this book. While the rating is 5 stars, I would like to mention one thing that would make it truly better: NO FREAKING STICKER ON THE BACK! I like my books to not have a sticker on it and while it's nice to know that the book costs $14.99 USD, taking off the sticker is not fun. Especially when it rips off the back off the book as well when it comes off. I don't know how to get the sticker off without ruining the back of the book, but that would be something nice to think about. So, if they could leave off the sticker next time, that would be great. Other than that, I love the book, it's very informative. If I ever cosplay a servant, I'll definitely be using this book as reference. :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Downton Abbey: Rules for Household Staff - The Wit and Wisdom of Downton Abbey (The World of Downton Abbey) - The Official Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook: Teatime Drinks, Scones, Savories & Sweets (Downton Abbey Cookery) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9828017-downton-abbey-rules-for-household-staff](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9828017-downton-abbey-rules-for-household-staff) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
