' This story will appeal to those who still believe that an
Englishman' s home is his castle, and to those who have a soft spot
for indomitable old women' Daily Telegraph The hardback edition of
this book, published in 2009 under the title A Lifetime in the
Building, saw its extraordinary story featured not only in the
Daily Mail but also Hello magazine - and quickly sold out two
printings. Now it is re-launched in paperback under a new title to
highlight its appeal as the tale of an extraordinary, maverick
woman and her even more remarkable achievement. May Savidge lived
in a half-timbered house in Hertfordshire. When the council served
her with a compulsory purchase notice to make way for a roundabout,
May decided she had to move - but so did the house. So she had the
whole thing dismantled and shipped to the North Norfolk coast...
and then spent the rest of her life rebuilding it, single-handed.
Her fame spread around the world. Antiques Roadshow broadcast,
unprecedentedly, two features about her house. Now her niece,
Christine Adams, who inherited May' s house and completed it - at
the cost of her own marriage - tells her aunt' s life story from
the voluminous diaries and letters she left behind. Christine Adams
now runs a Bed and Breakfast in May Savidge' s old house in
Norfolk. Michael McMahon is also the co-author of My Friend the
Enemy (978 1 84513 316 0).
