I don't know what was underneath the servant rooms - probably some kind
of lower ground floor rooms.

In my house, judging by the remains of bell circuits, the servant's room
was the attic.

They work in the basement and sleep in the attic. The Family might want
something in the middle of the night.

So what did those skivvys do about bathing ? Have a bath
somewhere else once a year, whether they needed it or not ?

Mate of mine spent some years in China teaching them
english. They had public bath houses and still do even now.
