More interesting than I expected although I did groan with despair when we were shown how to make bread!
So, where was naughty Mary Berry in 1841? You don't suddenly start being a staymaker, you have to be apprenticed and that surely would have been while she was in the workhouse? So she would always have had a trade to fall back on. Also - I thought staymakers made the bones and steels that went into corsets and that corset makers made corsets!
Interesting but again, so many tantalising gaps. How did young Edward become a Canon? Was Mary really a staymaker or Something Else? (Ahem). Did Christopher Berry run off with someone else?
