4:19Now PlayingNationwide's Patrick Stenson chats to May Savidge, a 64-year-old retiree, who is in the process of moving house. May is quite literally moving her 15th Century Elizabethan home from its orignal site - Ware in Hertfordshire - to a new site, 100 miles away - Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk.
When Mrs Savidge heard that her property was to be demolished to make way for a new roundabout, she decided to try to save it, and had the entire property shipped - brick by brick, timber by timber - to its new site. The former engineer has spent the past five years of her retirement single-handedly rebuilding the property. Is she daunted by this mammoth task?
