I found this.

http://www.metropolitanwalks.com/blo...high-ceilings/

not saying it's true but it makes a bit of sense.

Not as far as the ceiling height in the houses for 'workers'
and for the rooms mostly used by the servants etc.

Which is why those rooms especailly for workers and servants didn't have such high ceiling.
