The Cow Bathroom

Originally the Cow Bathroom was the Master's private study, accessible only via the Master's Bedchamber. In 1905, however, Godfrey Morgan had the room converted into a very modern and hi-tech bathroom. It was known as the Cow Bathroom because of the large collection of Cow-shaped creamer jugs that were displayed on the shelves. All the fixtures and fittings in the room were executed by Royal Doulton, and included a shower that sprays water horizontally from pipes on the corner of the cabinet as well as the head at the top, a heated towel rail and a bidet. The use of the bidet had only recently started in Britain in 1905, showing that Godfrey had plenty of money to invest in the latest technologies. Today, the bathrom has been painted in a traditional Edwardian colour scheme.
