Ah, I should have said "at a lower level than the main house 1st

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 ?Â* Have a bath
somewhere else once a year, whether they needed it or not ?

Tin bath in the kitchen. Family tin bath in their bedrooms, filled with
water lugged upstairs by the staff.
