Welcome to an illustrated talk on the History of the Toilet! Join us at St. Lawrence's Church on Tue Nov 19 2024 at 19:00 GMT for a fascinating journey through time exploring the evolution of this essential fixture. From ancient civilizations to modern innovations, we'll uncover the surprising stories behind one of the most taken-for-granted inventions. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about the humble toilet's not-so-humble past!
Christina Hardyment is an author and journalist with a keen interest in the historical context of everyday life, focusing on how we manage our homes, raise children, and the food we consume. Additionally, she has a deep passion for literary geography, exploring the real-world locations that inspired both classic and contemporary writers. Christina has authored eleven books on these topics, including Mangle to Microwave: A History of Domestic Technology and Behind the Scenes: Domesticity in Historic Houses.
