I had been going to make a "bath" room..but my research had come up with..that largely the bath was a large round or oval wooden keg like construction..banded and slathered with pitch to lessen some of the leakage of water..for which the servants would carry from room to room as needed (which wasn't all that often..*holds my nose*p..u..) for which the servants would then carry buckets of alternating hot and cold water (till the persons temp pref was reached) one could sit in it..not in comfort (knees begin then drawn up close to the body)but enough to wash the body,they then stood and either poured a bucket of water over themselves to rinse or a servant did it..
soo i held off doing so..got to say i love the pic for the bathes that have been put in place..calgon take me away..*laughs*
