Being a housemaid in Victorian times provided stable employment and a steady income, which was crucial for women in a society with limited job opportunities. Additionally, some maids could enjoy certain perks, such as room and board, and the chance to work in affluent households, which could offer a glimpse into a higher social class. It also allowed for the development of skills in domestic management and service that could be valuable in future employment. However, the work was often demanding, with long hours and little recognition.

This equates roughly to a space about 4m by 4m. Desks may exist, but usually long benches similar to those in church pews are used. A lectern is at the front. Vertical grouping was commonplace, often with the very young being seated next to children two or three times their age.
