Most of the ones I’ve been in have massive fireplaces in almost every room. A lot of trees have gone into those fireplaces in an endeavour to keep the occupants warm.

And fireplaces are powerful suctions that put more heat out the chimneys than is used inside. The taller the structure, the higher the chimney, and the stronger the draft. I'll wager that the stately homes actually whistled as air was drawn in through every crack around windows and doors.
I capped our chimney off because of that.
