pound project was launched to reevaluate and reinterpret the Service Wing. I was quite

heavily involved. As part of the project a team of costumed interpreters were put in

place. We were in costume, we were in character and we were talking to the public about our

lives, our hopes, our dreams, as well as interpreting the daily life and chores of servants. And

みなさまに　生活、希望、夢、 使用人たちの日常の家事仕事を語りました

I say 'we' because I was one of them. I played the first kitchen maid Mary-Anne Bulmer but

I was also in charge of the team, leading up what people were saying, why they were

saying it and making sure that every visitor that came here got a really good experience

and learnt an awful lot too. But behind that project was a lot more work and I've come

here today to meet Dr Andrew Hann, one of English Heritage's historians and one of the

leading lights behind the project as it unfolded. Andrew, tell what was your role on the project?

舞台裏にスポットを照らします

Well when I first arrived at English Heritage in 2007 this was my first job so it was really

「アンドリュー、プロジェクトの役割は何ですか？」 ２００７年　英国遺産に初めて来て、働きました

exciting to get into the Service Wing exhibition and I was able to look at the servants and

使用人職場の展示は　わくわくし 当時の使用人たちを見ることができ

find out a little bit more about them and do a little bit of genealogy research so that

もう少し彼らについて知りたいと思い 系譜を調べました

was my first introduction to English Heritage. And it was quite a big project wasn't it?

英国遺産の序章でした

From what I understand the whole Service Wing was essentially empty, it wasn't really open

壮大なプロジェクトでしたね？使用人職場の全容は からっぽで、閉鎖的で、

very often, there was a table in the kitchen and nothing else and we didn't know anything

台所のテーブルが一つあって、 使用人が何を使っていたのか　わかりませんでした

about the people who had worked in it. Yes we didn't know much about them at all. When

そうです、詳しくは知らなかったのです

we started the project it was basically being used as a service yard. There was a paint

プロジェクトの始動は　使用人の領域でした

store in the laundry and some of the other rooms were being used as a wood workshop and

塗装されたランドリー部屋と　 他の部屋は　木製品の工房でした

that sort of thing so it really was a lot of conservation work that was needed. But

再現するのに必要なあれこれを たくさん話し合いました

also we didn't know much about the servants who'd been there as well. Luckily we discovered

当時の使用人たちのことを　詳しく知りませんでした

that there'd been a fire in 1880 and that the kitchen had had to be extensively reserviced,

幸運なことに　１８８０年　火事があり 台所は　大金をかけて改修されていたのです

so the 1881 census was the obvious place to start. And so, I took the list from there

１８８１年の記録簿で明らかです そのリストを詳しく調べることを始め

and just started working my way through it and finding out about the various people as

たくさんの人々の中に　エイヴィスがいました

I went along, and Avis was one of them. And that's why it was 1881 wasn't it? That's why

１８８１年だったのは　なぜかしら？

this whole project has always been set in 1881 using recipes from the 1880s and slightly

プロジェクトの全容は　いつも１８８１年と決まり　１８８０年代のレシピが使われています

afterwards because of that big fire and then the fact that we've got the census. Yes it

ほんの少し後にずれてますね 火事のせいで　わたしたちは　記録簿を発見した

was, the decision was taken because we had a detailed record of the fire, we had some

そう、でしたね、　火事の詳しい記録があったため

plans which showed what had happened after the fire in terms of reconstruction so it

ある計画を持ち　火事のあと改修された 棚ぼたを活用したのです

was a win on all fronts really. Tell me a bit more about the characters who inhabited

使用人職場の人々の　キャラクターを教えてください

the Service Wing because we're very focused on Avis Crocombe in this set of videos but

制作ビデオは　エイヴィス・クロークンに焦点です

of course Avis wasn't alone was she? She wasn't, there were two kitchen maids and there was

エイヴィスはひとりではなかった　ぼっちではない ２人の台所メイドがいて

a scullery maid who worked in the kitchens. Annie Chase the scullery maid and Mary-Anne

調理場で働く台所メイドの　アニー・チェイスと 最初の台所メイドの　メリー・アン・ブルマー

Bulmer of course the first kitchen maid. There was also lots of other people working within

使用人職場は　たくさんの人たちでいっぱいでした

the Service Wing. There was Fanny Cowley the dairy maid and also a couple of people working

酪農場メイドの　ファニー・カウリー

in the laundry. And then we had all the outdoor servants who I did a little bit of research

洗濯場の２，３人のメイドたち

on as well, so the gardeners and the gamekeepers because we knew they would have some sort

庭園の庭師と　意外なことに　狩猟師の人たち

of interaction. And of course there were indoor servants as well weren't there because we've

もちろん屋敷の中の使用人たちであって 屋敷ではない　台所が焦点です

always focused on the kitchen and to some extent the laundry, the dairy, some of these

関連して　洗濯場、酪農場、 屋敷の外で働く　狩猟や獲物を扱う人たち　庭師たち

outdoor characters the gamekeepers and the gardeners but indoors there's a whole other

屋敷に住む人たちには　別世界で

world and I suppose it's easy to look at a house like this and see it a little bit like

屋敷を眺める　白鳥のように悠々と

a swan serenely going along but what you've got is this huge number of people underneath

翼の下に　たくさんの人々を　抱えていたのです

as the legs. There are, there was about 25 to 30 servants who had some involvement at

１８８０年代は　２５～３０人はいたようです

the house in the 1880s and that's when you've just got Lord and Lady Braybrooke. Their daughter

ちょうど　ブレイ・ブルーク卿夫妻のお嬢様

Augusta has just left to get married so there's just the two of them there and obviously their

guests when they have them, but it's a really large entourage to really serve two people.
