A Tradition is Born
The tradition of taking in the afternoon tea dates back to the 18th Century when one of Queen Victoria’s ladies-in-waiting, Anna Stanhope (the Duchess of Bedford) complained of a sinking feeling about 4 ‘o’clock. To revive herself, the Duchess had her servants bring her a pot of tea and a few breadstuffs. She soon began inviting her friends to join her for her additional meal in her room at Belvior Castle and this has become a British institution.
