When were chimneys invented?
Chimneys were invented during the 12th century in Northern Europe, though we do not know who invented them, or precisely where. The oldest known example of a chimney dates from the year 1185. Prior to the invention of the chimney, smoke was vented in various ways. One was to have a hole in the roof, possibly with a vent cover called a louver to keep rain out. Another was to vent through window-like holes high in the walls, possibly with louvers to keep birds and bats out. Another way, used in castle and monastery kitchens, was merely to have very large, high windows. There was a thing called a smoke canopy, which gathered the smoke and vented it through the roof or a wall. A hearth that was situated against a stone wall, with a smoke canopy over it, looked rather like a fireplace, such as would have a chimney, even though no chimney existed. There is a link below to a question on smoke canopies. There is also a link to the history section of an article on chimneys, as well as a link to a picture of a great hall of the Late Middle Ages, with the hearth in the middle of the room.

My fireplace is in the center of my house. I have noticed that when we have a fire the cinder block bricks on the outside chimney wall feels warm. Is that normal?
Warm- normal. HOT- not normal. The flue gasses passing thru the chimney are VERY hot- they will gradually warm the mass of the concrete blocks and the flue liner- which will also cool down slowly. It should not be so hot that holding your hand on it is uncomfortable. Our home has a rather massive concrete chimney- takes 3 days to warm all the way up- and will stay wam for about 3 days after the fire is out.
