The Groom of Chambers: The Life of Edgar Volan |

Welcome to the first video in our new Lives in Service series!
Many of the videos on our channel look at Wentworth Woodhouse or the families who lived there. In this new series, we take a look at the lives of some of the staff who worked at the House.
Deb Smith is a member of the volunteer Digital Team at Wentworth Woodhouse and she's also a member of the volunteer Archives and Research team. Many months of her work have gone into the creation of this series of videos and we'll release them throughout the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.
We'd like to offer a special thanks to the family of Edgar Volan who have been so helpful and supportive during the making of this video.
