Emberley Hall is for people who love the Regency and Victorian world. The romance, the drama, the manners and the mess of it.

Some videos are documentaries about how life really worked in Britain between 1795 and 1901. Courtship and the marriage market. What a lady's maid did before her mistress was awake. What food, rent and a decent dress actually cost. These are built from real photographs, engravings, paintings, fashion plates and letters, with the source shown on screen. Nothing in them is invented.

Some are about the books and the people in them. Who Elizabeth Bennet would really have been. What Jane Eyre's wages were worth. Austen, the Brontës and the rest, looked at properly.

And some are stories, told with the same pictures and the same care. Old ones retold, and new ones written here.

The servants and the working families get as much room as the drawing room does.

Told slowly.
