Servant's bedroom

In the basement of Wimpole Hall there are 2 simple bedrooms required for the servants of friends visiting the last owner of the estate, Elsie Bambridge. She was the daughter of Rudyard Kipling. Mrs Bambridge spent many years restoring Wimpole Hall and taking care of the estate. Without her efforts I doubt that the estate would exist  today. She negotiated that it all be transferred to the National Trust after her death.  What a brave, determined woman!
