Scullery Maid

The Scullery Maid reported (through the kitchen maid) to the cook to the butler. Along with the junior kitchen-maid, the scullery maid did not eat at the communal servants' dining hall table, but in the kitchen in order to keep an eye on the food that was still cooking.
In noble houses, scullery maids are the lowest-ranked and often the youngest of the female domestic servants and acted as assistant to a kitchen maid.
Duties of the scullery maid included the most physical and demanding tasks in the kitchen such as cleaning and scouring the floor, stoves, sinks, pots, and dishes. After scouring the plates in the scullery, she would leave them on racks to dry. The scullery maid also assisted in cleaning vegetables, plucking fowl, and scaling fish.
