During excavations in the basement of the Courtauld Gallery, we were amazed to unearth the remains of a medieval cesspit containing an array of fascinating finds. This remarkable discovery is helping to shed further light on Chester Inn, a poorly-documented 15th century residence belonging to the bishopric of Coventry, Lichfield and Chester which once stood where Somerset House does today.
