Examples of the so-called Norman toilet can be seen in the White Tower on Tower Hill in London. Basically, this was an indoor privy-type setup with a chute right through the wall, emptying onto the ground below. This was early indoor plumbing, as it were. They were on the castle's north side, apparently the less used side due to sunlight conditions. Perhaps as the toilet was "flushed," the Norman king or other user would yell out "Guardez l'eau!" as in "watch out below!" These toilets are still in existence and can be seen on the White Tower/Tower of London tour. |
