"During excavations in the basement of the Courtauld Gallery as part of transformative building work ahead of its reopening in 2021, we were amazed to unearth the remains of this medieval chalk-lined 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.
