I was thinking of early middle ages British ones which were one story generally iirc. Looks like improvements were made elsewhere in the world.

Still wouldn’t be keen, don’t get me wrong I used to do farm work and volunteer at an animal sanctuary when health allows. I don’t mind shovelling shit or what not but a big part of it being tolerable is the shower and clean room at the end! A wash in my basin in my musty house would be a nope. I’ll bunk with the dogs if we have to share, they’re a bit cleaner generally.
