Random information on the term “Downton Abbey”:
Shelagh Stephenson is an English playwright and actress.
Stephenson was born in Tynemouth, Northumberland in 1955. She read drama at Manchester University.
Stephenson worked as an actress with the Royal Shakespeare Company and in bit parts in television. She appeared in Coronation Street in 1981 as the minor character Sandra Webb. She has subsequently had parts in Rumpole’s Return, Sapphire & Steel, The Gentle Touch, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Boon, Paradise Postponed and Big Deal.
Stephenson’s stage plays include The Memory of Water (1997), An Experiment with an Air Pump, Ancient Lights, Five Kinds of Silence (radio play 1996; stage play 2000), Mappa Mundi (2002), Harriet Martineau and The Long Road (2008) which was written in collaboration with the UK-based charity, The Forgiveness Project, to critical acclaim.
Her plays frequently deal with new advances in science, such as the concept in the title of her first stage play, and include commentary on pseudoscientific fads such as urine therapy or phrenology as in her play on Harriet Martineau. Methuen Publishing Ltd published a collected edition of all four of these Stephenson plays in 2003.
Random information on the term “MAID”:
Maid is a title granted to the eldest daughter of a laird. The title is not often used today but can still be used. The title is customary and not automatically given.
The eldest daughter of a laird is entitled to place the title at the end of her name along with the lairdship therefore becoming “Miss [Firstname] [Lastname], Maid of [Lairdship]”. Placing only the word “maid” at the end of the name is incorrect, as the lairdship must be included.
As the title is customary and not automatic, it means that the eldest daughter can choose if they wish to take on this title, if they choose not to they are simply addressed as “Miss [Firstname] [Lastname] of [Lairdship]”.
If the eldest daughter is the heir apparent to a lairdship, she has the choice to either take on the title “younger” or to remain titled as “Maid of [x]”. Once they take on the lairdship in their own right, they will then become styled as “lady” and the title of “Maid of [x]” will pass onto their eldest daughter.
