Many thanks; that is most interesting. My grandparents had no running water in the house until the 1950s. There was a well in the garden, presumably not the marsh well, which, if I understand the Cam Johnson article aright, was a more public well. There was never an indoor lavatory, and even in their old age, my grandparents went out to the privy at the bottom of the garden.
