Hello, I'm Mrs King and if you have been on a school trip to Cannon Hall you might have met me in the kitchens.
Back in Victorian times, it was very important that big houses like Cannon Hall had the best cook they could find.
Serving the most delicious food at parties and gatherings showed how important and powerful a family was.
The Cook was even paid more than the Housekeeper and had one of the most important jobs in the household.
