Channel 4 (that would be the British Channel 4, not WCCO ...) has a series on the worst jobs in history.
It covers the Roman to Victorian periods based, it seems, on when the jobs first appeared. They list fullers (wool treaters) and lime burners as medieval jobs, but those jobs were still around in 1881. You can see for yourself.
