TBH I'd never heard the stairs referred to as Jacobs ladder. It was always the 'wooden ladder' in our house ?
Might be a biblical conotation <--- Is that spelt right LOL

Being 'Chapel People' I imagine in my mums case it would be Biblical.

In the Bible Jacob had a dream in which he saw a ladder reaching from earth up into Heaven.

Hence the saying.
