I found this.

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

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

This article is about the USA. The same applies in UK I think, but the ceiling heights of typical houses are not quite as extreme as mentioned in the article.

Talking about low ceilings, I hate those 8 ft ceiling bungalows - the huge roof just looks all wrong squashed down there over the front door !
