But they have..all you need is a nice victorian sewage pump. Generally
powered by a steam engine and covering a couple of acres.

Scale matters. The average human turd compared to the piston diameter
and valve opening of a steam powered sewage pump is miniscule.

So why not have a 4" diameter sewage pump, and pump the lot into the
loft where it can run back don to the soil stack?

That's a good idea. Instead of a macerator, just a holding tank and
reciprocating pump to get it up and over. As long as the prospect of
****e overhead doesn't worry anybody.
