This was done by using a furnace and the hypocaust system carried the heat around the complex. |
The hot air flowing from furnaces in the cellar through the vents of the hypocaust went far to drive off the chill. |
Other thermal control elements are the galleries' hypocaust floors which are like raised office plates over a concrete slab. |
If his master lived in a cold climate, the first job of the day for a day would be to fire up the hypocaust. |
In other respects, however, the building was relatively modest, being timber-framed, single-storey, and without a hypocaust. |
Elsewhere in the Vale of York, a villa was represented by hypocaust remains, with evidence of jet-working as well as iron slag. |
