Would this fit in the modern house.

It would probably contravene Stove Building Regulations - Document J.  The flue arrangement would need to be modified.

Health and safety or History.

Who would win?

Always H&S if an ancient item was re-commissioned ... requirement of Public Liability Insurance for places open to Joe Public and requirement for domestic insurance cover (installed to Hetas safety standard).  Of course, there's nowt to stop somebody using an old bit of tackle like that, but they'd be taking a risk of voiding their insurance cover and risking being overcome by carbon monoxide fumes due to that flue arrangement.

The boiler is in Hereford Cathedral.

Actually more than just the one.

Not sure if they work or how!

The Mappa Mundi, an original Magna Carta, a chain library even a bishops palace make it a must to visit yesterday not tomorrow.
