Room for three? A medieval toilet seat soon to go on display at the Museum of London features three holes spaced far enough apart that three people could use it at once.
Nine hundred years ago, using the bathroom was not necessarily a solo activity.
The oaken seat is not fully intact, but is remarkably well preserved given the centuries it spent underground. It contains two full holes one could use for anything one might wish to use a toilet for, as well as part of a third hole., the seat “was originally big enough for three people to share at the same time .”
The seat was discovered during archeological work at the lower portion of the River Fleet in the 1980s. Archeologists discovered remnants of a bridge and a row of buildings. One of those buildings – the one where the seat was found – belonged to hatmaker John de Flete and his wife Cassandra. According to the museum, the seat was well-preserved largely because it was buried in waterlogged earth for most of its existence.
