John Vickerstaff - Usher
(He thinks its 1871!  You will usually find him in the Servants' Quarters)

My name is John Vickerstaff and I have worked on the estate for many years. As a younger man I worked on the farm where I did most things, but I particularly liked working with the horses.

Now I’m getting old, and a bit creaky, his Lordship has given me a job as an usher, which means that I load and unload the bags onto the carriages, fetch and carry, and make sure any guests to the Mansion House are received promptly by the correct person.

I am proud to work for the Anson family, as they have treated me well, especially in my older years.
