Still room maid

She made preserves, including pickled eggs and vegetables, dried fruit, dried herbs and flowers, spice preparations, chutneys, marmalades, and jams; beverages, such as tea, bottled drinks, and beer; and perfumes, candles, and home remedies.

[4] She also prepared and served afternoon tea; not just the beverages, but sandwiches and cakes.

[5][6] The still-room maid is a junior servant, and as a member of the between staff, reports to both the housekeeper and the cook.

[7] It was a high-status role; stillroom maids were often promoted to housekeepers.

Once common in houses with large staffs, the still-room maid is rare in the 21st century.
