Yes heat pumps do work in very old buildings.
Today I visited Trinity College Oxford at the University of Oxford which is getting a ground source heat pump fitted by Rendesco right now.
It will heat its grade II listed Jackson Building, which houses common rooms, teaching rooms and student bedrooms.
One of many similar projects where heat pumps are installed in old iconic buildings.
