I have spent the weekend at an event
in an English castle and I can tell you they are still damp.
Were there any fires inside? Most of the castles we visited in France
were damp and cold, but twice we visited castles where the chimneys
had been restored so they'd made a fire inside - makes a whole world
of difference. They would still be cold in the winter, though...
I have always thought that once you built a castle and got the fires
going, and then kept the fires going, winter and summer alike, it
probably held the heat better than you might expect. Thick stone walls
are certainly very good insulation when it comes to keeping heat out -
one event inside a castle at Easter, we were going outside to warm up!
