I was a couple of weeks ago looking at a medieval castle in Suffolk
(Orford, 12th century). Very interesting solution to kitchen sinks.
Basically a shallow stone basin that had a drain in one end that ended
up in a spout on the outside of the walls. Also a main kitchen with the
window placed so you had the light from the left when facing the two
fireplaces.

Of course I didn't bring my camera, why did you ask?
