Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management dates roughly from the
Crimean War...wait, I just checked: 1861.
 
The main difference you'll probably find between S&K pie recipes is in
whether or not the filling is pre-cooked before putting it into the pie.
Some involve rolling the steak and the kidney in seasoned flour, placing
in the pastry, then adding hot stock through a hole in the crust before
putting it in the oven.

As Elysant (I think) suggested, mushrooms are optional, as are
hard-boiled eggs.
