Phoebe Radley began working at

Chatsworth around 1825, where

she met Mary Hastie and began a

lifelong friendship. In 1846, when

Elizabeth Bickell was dismissed

for entertaining friends in the

Duke's private rooms, Mary

Hastie (then working at

Devonshire House) was brought

in to replace Bickell as

housekeeper. Mary asked the

Duke if Phoebe could join her as

assistant housekeeper for £20 a

year. The Duke allowed Phoebe

to move back to Chatsworth but

refused to pay her a

housekeeper's salary- therefore,

the two women shared a

housekeeper's salary until the

Duke's death in 1858, when they

moved together to Denbigh Street

in Pimlico. Dined in Steward's

Room during Duke's visit, 1852

and called 'Mrs Radley'.

George Spencer Ridgway began

at Devonshire House as a

footman, was promoted to valet,

and soon came to combine the

roles of personal secretary, agent

and steward. He was principally

based at Devonshire House, but

travelled with the Duke where

needed, including to Russia for

the coronation of Nicolas I. In

Social Gleanings by Mark Boyd,

1875, Boyd claims that Ridgway

was the Duke's 'foster brother',

'his mother, Mrs. Ridgway, having

suckled the future Lord of

Chatsworth'. Boyd also writes that

it was Ridgway who introduced

the Duke to Paxton, while the

latter was a labourer in the

Chiswick gardens.

Santi Paul Male 1825 1838 Traveling Multiple Attendant Courier C/16: Accounts of Michal Hall and Thomas Fletcher

Devonshire, Chiswick, Chatsworth and Brighton,

1824-46, 51; Devonshire House Servants, 1825;

P/9; CS2/3967/1-5; CS6/3025

The Duke described Santi as 'a

very handsome and picturesque

person, with clever wicked

eyes'. He travelled abroad with

both the 6th Duke and with

Louisa Cavendish. Santi had a

weakness for gambling, and in

1836 he wrote to the Duke

admitting to having stolen some

of the housekeeping money to

feed his habit. He told the Duke

he intended to commit suicide,

and that it was the fault of

Meynell (the valet) and Ridgway

(the steward). The Duke paid off

Santi's gambling debts but was

forced to dismiss him two years

later, in 1838, probably again for

gambling. Despite his dismissal,

Paul Santi and his daughter

Louise were paid generous

pensions for many years after his

employment.

at the University of Nottingham)

Andrew Stewart was foreman of

the kitchen gardens until Joseph

Paxton's resignation in 1858, at

which point he became head

gardener. He and Paxton were

close friends as well as

colleagues, and Stewart appears

in many of Sarah and Joseph's

letters as 'Andrew'. In 1838

Andrew Stewart's young son was

killed in an accident at the saw

mill. Andrew died suddenly in

1864. His autopsy was carried

out by Dr Edward Wrench and

features in his diaries.

Knowlton and Joseph Fletcher's accounts 1798-

He is mentioned in the 6th Duke's

Handbook of Chatsworth, (p. 161-

2). He describes Travis as 'prolix,

old school, and very

consequential, in a cocked hat

and striped stockings, and gold

shoe-buckles, wearing powder

and a long pigtail'. TRavis was

known for telling a story about

when the King of Denmark came

to see Chatsworth. Ralph Travis

was one of the servants paid to

have a hair powder certificate. He

was also provided with a horse 'to

ride on all proper occasions'.

Travis also appears in the

Steward's Order Book and was

the reason why the book was

started in the first place. Ralph

Travis had employed his own

men to prune the trees in the

park 'injuring the appearance and

growth of them'. While Travis

claimed he was only doing what

he had been ordered to do, the

Steward feared a rebuke from the

Duke and made Travis sign a

witness statement to say that he

had been in charge of the order

not the steward. This incident

made the steward start this book,

in order that all actions would be

recorded.Travis Francis Male 1856 Chatsworth Multiple Labourer Team Worker C/20: Estate accounts 1855-1856

Life of Robert Aughtie (Hanley Swan, 1992) - his

mother

One year after John Gibson’s

triumphant return from Calcutta,

two more Chatsworth gardeners

were sent overseas, this time to

North America. In March 1838,

Robert Wallace and Peter Banks

sailed for New York. They were to

be paid £1 4s per week,

scheduled to return in three

years, and warned to ‘beware of

bears and women’. On the 20th

July, Wallace wrote a letter to

Paxton from the Manitoba

province in Canada. He wrote

that they had travelled on

treacherous rivers in three large

canoes and requested a long list

of items to be sent to him. The

objects Wallace requested were

promptly sent to Canada, but

unfortunately he would never

receive them. On the 7th

November, Robert Wallace and

Peter Banks died when their

canoe capsized in the rapids of

the Columbia River. A letter

informing Paxton and the Duke of

the disaster was sent to

Chatsworth, but did not arrive

until six months later. It said that,

‘in all eleven persons who

travelled from their distant homes

[found] an untimely grave

Wilson William Male c.1840 1851 Chatsworth Garden Gardener Jr Gardener DF33/5: correspdence of Ann Wilson of edensor

1840s; DE/CH/6/1/23 List of workers and foremen;

1841 Census for Edensor

William Wilson was born in

Beeley in 1816. He is therefore in

the minority of nineteenth-century

gardeners at Chatsworth who

were born on the estate.

Following the remodelling of

Edensor he moved there with his

mother, Elizabeth, and wife, Ann.

He probably began working in the

gardens in the 1830s, where he

became friends with John Milner.

Unfortunately, William suffered

from ill health. In the 1840s he

was sent away twice to

Southport, by Joseph Paxton, to

bathe in the sea and recover from

his health problems. Paxton paid

for his expenses for these trips.

In 1845 he was elected a

councilman of the Edensor Club,

which organised feasts and other

activities for the local men. Sadly,

William died in 1851, aged only

35. When William died he left his

wife Ann to look after their four

children: Julia, Edmund,

Elizabeth and Alfred.

Wilson Edmund Male 1868 Hardwick Garden Gardener Gardener DF33/5 Edmund Wilson was the son of

William Wilson. There is one

letter written by him in DF33/5,

but he is mentioned frequently by

his mother Ann. In the 1870s

Edmund moved to be head

gardener at Hardwick Hall, where

he remained for at least 50 years.

The 6th Duke hired Peter

Wisternoff/Westerney/Wisternou

gh/Ustinowicz on a trip to Russia

in 1826 for the coronation of

Nicolas I during which he

acquired a Russian coach called

a droshky. Peter appears in the

account books until 1842 as

‘Peter the Russian’ or simply ‘the

Russian Coachman’. He was

mentioned in several newspaper

articles on account of his great

bushy beard (very unusual at the

time) and drew attention to

himself with his tendency to wear

traditional Russian clothing. He is

also mentioned in the diary of

Queen Victoria. There are several

paintings and drawings of him,

and he featured as a subject in

Sir Edwin Landseer's painting

"Bolton Abbey in the Olden

Time", which is at Chatsworth. In

1833 his wife wrote to the Duke

that Ridgway had forbidden Peter

from getting beer from the cellar.

Peter was eventually let go in

1841, for unknown reasons. He

wrote to the Duke asking for his

help in finding more work, and to

find work for his disabled son.

Ridgway wrote in a letter to
