Mary Ann:  
> I'm currently living in my second 1930s British home.  Both houses have/had doors everywhere and were only centrally heated during the 1990s.  By having doors everywhere heat could be contained within one room without the heat escaping.  Winters may not be as cold here as in Canada but the awful damp cold prevalent in southwest England gets right to your bones.

Not if you were brought up a Brit....
....speaking as someone who lived in the North until he was 9 and doesn't 
consider the southwest to be particularly damp and cold. - I think it comes 
of living in Devon. You should relocate to Somerset.
