Trying to stay clean in Medieval London was practically a full-time job. Water didn't come out of the wall, clothes didn't go in the washing machine, and if someone left dirt in front of their door, there was still the possibility of the city showing up with a fine. Modern comfort has really spoiled our ability to appreciate a good tap.
In this bedtime story, you'll spend a day in 14th-century London, more precisely in the 1380s, following the routine of a master tailor near Cheapside.
And no, the story isn't as simple as "nobody bathed in the Middle Ages".
Let's discover how Londoners obtained water, how they washed their hands and clothes, the role of washerwomen, the workings of London's Grand Conduit, and what happened to the garbage, manure, and other gifts that a medieval city produced daily.
Along the way, we'll also encounter laws against street litter, fines for residents, neighbors suing neighbors, latrines over the Walbrook stream, and authorities trying to control odors without having the slightest idea of the existence of microbes. They had their noses, some regulations, and a lot of trust in paperwork.
We'll also get to the inevitable question: and bathing?
The answer is far more interesting than the old myth that medieval people simply didn't wash.
So adjust your pillow, turn off the light, and come discover what it was like to try to keep your body, clothes, house, and streets minimally presentable in Medieval London.
