Valerie, Head Maid, Caerlaverock Castle Quest3D ModelNoAI
The head maid is out collecting meadowsweet to cover the floors in the castle and disguise the smell of damp. She’s hoping that the Maxwells will bring plenty of tapestries to decorate the rooms of the castle and take the chill out of the draughty castle. The head maid is modelled on Valerie, the monument manager, and she voices her character as well.
The head maid was in charge of the cleaning staff of the castle. She would make sure that the castle fires were set and floors were swept. If tapestries were dusty, she would arrange for them to be taken outside and beaten to refresh them. The head maid’s jobs were never ending, as medieval castles were never the cleanest of environments.
