[h-cost] warming a castle

[Laura Dickerson]

 A number of years ago we visited Cothele House in Cornwall on a cold rainy 
April day.  It's a granite and slate Tudorish house with fancy woodwork and 
lots of tapestries on the walls.  No electric lights, no central heating.  
There was a blazing fire in the great hall fireplace, but unless one was 
standing quite near the fire, it didn't seem to help much.  Dark and damp 
and chilly, although it was at least out of the wind. All those layers of 
woolen clothes seemed like a good idea.
