Where did the real power lie?

A new exhibition in Yorkshire looks at the women who lived in and ran some of the country's great stately homes; both as maid and mistress.

In the first of a four part series, Janet Wilson reports on the mistresses, cooks, scullery maids and governesses who played a pivotal role.
