William Bailey - Master Miller
(He thinks it's 1805. You will usually find him in the Mill)
It will be a great pleasure to welcome you and show you the workings of the new water corn mill at Shugborough. As His Lordship's Master Miller, I am indeed preoud of both the workings and machinery of the mill itself and the products of my toils.
I can even offer you a bag of my finest Wholemeal Flour at a most resonable price. The fine white flour I produce is, of course, only for His Lordship, his family and their guests.
As a respected servant, His Lordship rewards me with an annual salry of £39. There are reasonable perquisites, and with my wife Annie's wages, I have no complaints to make, even though the hours are long and the flour dust can be troublesome to the chest.
