Bath seen at Wallington Hall, I think it would need more than the three "kettles" shown to fill it

Thanks for the comments Giulio
I think people were smaller then Trixie, and it has 4 handles on the outside so perhaps they did throw the baby out with the bath water It is actually bigger than it looks.

It does just look like a boot, this must have been for the rich obviously, i've never seen one like this, great historical pic.

Kind regards Maria

A lovely historical scene, well documented. That really is a very unusual bath.

Thank you for the comments Maria and David. I think Wallington Hall is worth a visit if you are in the area.
