How were medieval manor houses heated?
The manor houses of the Middle Ages were nearly always heated by an open fire on a hearth in the center of the great hall, with the smoke vented through a hole in the roof or high on the wall. Kitchens also had open fires, which were sometimes vented through what was called a smoke canopy. Smoke canopies could be used in other rooms, but that would have been rare. The chimney was not invented until the 12th century, and only seldom appeared after that, until the Renaissance.
