Thomas Bailey was born around

1810, and was not local to

Derbyshire. He worked as a

foreman in the gardens at

Chatsworth, probably in the

arboretum department. In 1838

when Paxton went on an

extended journey abroad with the

6th Duke, and then Andrew

Stewart left for Paris, he was

temporarily put in charge of the

gardens. A little is known about

Bailey from the letters written

between Joseph and Sarah

Paxton, who did not approve of

his conduct. Bailey appears to

suffered for several years from

alcoholism. In 1839, Sarah wrote

that she suspected Bailey was

seeing one of the local girls,

Hannah Milner, ‘in the character

of a lover’. Sarah’s suspicions

were correct. In 1841 Thomas

Bailey married Hannah Milner at

Edensor, and the Paxtons were

witnesses. Unfortunately, the

marriage does not appear to have

put an end to Bailey’s drinking,

which was worsened on the

death of his mother. Thomas

Bailey died, possibly as a result of

complications from his

alcoholism, in 1846 while only in Bailey Mary Female 1880 1882 Devonshire House Housekeeping Maid Housemaid FM/3: Devonshire House Wage Book, 1861-1888

outbreak of typhus among the

housemaids (P/247) and was

praised for her ability to generate

money from tourists (P/248).

However, tensions rose between

Bickell and Sarah Paxton, and in

1846 Bickell was dismissed after

Sarah Paxton told her husband

and the Duke that the

housekeeper had taken friends

and servants to Hardwick, had

flowers cut from the conservatory

for a wedding, and entertained

her friends in the Duke's private

apartments at Chatsworth. Miss

Bickell wrote two apologetic

letters to the Duke, and from

around 1848 until 1865 she was

paid a pension of £100 per year.

She be the housekeeper of the

Queen's Hotel, Manchester in the

1861 census, as she had friends

in Manchester.

Jane Booth was the cook at

Chatsworth for much of the

second half of the nineteenth

century. She was not a

permanent member of staff, but

received a day rate of 1s10d per

day, and would have been called

in when needed to cook for the

servants and staff (possibly the

Devonshires too, but they often

had traveling chefs). She was

widowed in 1891 and thereafter

received a pension of 4s per

week to support her and her

'invalid' daughter. Dined in

Servants Hall during Duke's visit,

1852.

William Condell was personal

physician to the 6th Duke from at

least the 1830s. Some of his time

was spent as physician to the

Duke and his household

servants, and the rest of his time

taking care of his patients at his

practice at Baslow. This dual

allegiance caused problems,

because the Duke was fond of

travelling, and frequently took

Condell away from his practice

(see CS2/10/3-6). Condell was

present when the Duke died at

Hardwick Hall in 1858.

This is probably the same John

Edwards who was Cook at

Devonshire House. Because the

House Steward would be the one

in charge of paying wages they

are rarely recorded in the account

books themselves. He appears in

1792 as there are several

payments for 'doctors to attend

Mr Edwards'. He died in 1794 and

the Duke paid for his £32 12s 6d

for his funeral.

Sidney Gasper was a

for selling tickets to the public to

discuss whether or not the Duke

is liable to pay compensation.

The affair was slightly awkward

for the Duke, as Gasper had

come recommended by Lord

Stanley.

DE/CH/6/1/23 List of workers and foremen

John Gibson began his career as

a gardener under his father at

Eaton Hall in Cheshire. In 1832

he was apprenticed to Joseph

Paxton at Chatsworth, and three

years later, when he was only

twenty years old, the Duke sent

him on a plant-finding expedition

to India. He returned in 1837 with

Amherstia Nobilis plants, and 300

other new plant species, including

80 orchids. On his triumphant

return, Gibson was promoted to

foreman of the exotic plant

department. He seems to have

got on well with Joseph Paxton,

even if Sarah Paxton thought he

was a ‘precious puppy’. John

Gibson left Chatsworth in 1849,

and went on to become

superintendent of Hyde Park, St

James’ Park and Kensington

Gardens. He died in 1875 after a

period of illness which left him

paralysed. The archive contains a

collection of correspondence

written between John Gibson and

Paxton during his expedition to

India. It also contains a letter to

the Duke from the time of his

departure from Chatsworth,

thanking him for everything.
