Welcome reader! This is the history book you've been waiting for! Peer down the pan of the past with us to discover all there is to know about Tudor toilets, medieval manure, dinosaur dung and Ancient Chinese chutes. Poo chutes, that is.

Dip into these chronicles of the cloakroom to find the answers to all these historical hygiene questions and many more...
