Set in an Edwardian country house at the turn of the 20th Century, Downton Abbey portrays the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who work for them. In the drawing rooms, library and beautiful bedrooms of Downton Abbey, live the family. Below stairs are the other residents – the servants. Some of them are loyal to the family and committed to Downton as a way of life, others are moving through, on the lookout for betterment, love or just plain adventure.
