Berrington Hall was the Rodney family home for nearly a century, before it was gambled away and acquired by the Cawley family. The restored servants' rooms include the butler's pantry, footman's room and laundry room, along with the perfectly preserved and beautifully decorated dairy. Visitors can also see how servants moved around the house unseen by the family and guests.
