That's when inspiration struck – she would move her beloved house to a new location! Determined to make this wild plan a reality, Miss Savidge embarked on an extraordinary journey.
The Challenges Awaited
Aided by a team of experts in house relocation, Miss Savidge faced an array of logistical challenges that could easily discourage the faint-hearted. The first obstacle on her path was securing the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities and agencies. Months of paperwork and negotiations followed, but with her unwavering determination and the support of the community, the approvals were finally obtained.
The physical task was no less daunting. The house was assessed, fortified, and equipped with an elaborate structural framework to ensure its integrity during the move. Road closures and traffic control measures were put in place, inconveniencing the townsfolk but igniting their curiosity and excitement for the incredible spectacle that was about to unfold.
A Community United
Word spread like wildfire in Whimsicalville as the townspeople rallied together to witness the grand relocation. Some even created banners and organized street parties to commemorate this moment in history. The spirit of unity and excitement filled the air as residents young and old gathered along the predetermined route.
The big day arrived, and with bated breath, Miss Savidge's house started its slow and steady journey. Cheers erupted as the house, accompanied by a convoy of support vehicles and expert movers, rolled down the streets with impeccable precision.
Overcoming Obstacles
As with any epic tale, challenges emerged along the way. There were narrow curves that required precise maneuvering, low-hanging tree branches that needed temporary removal, and even a bridge that had to be reinforced to bear the weight of the immense structure. Each obstacle was met with innovative solutions and unwavering determination, keeping the journey on track.
An Epic Finale
After days of meticulous planning and maneuvering, the house reached its new destination – a picturesque countryside where sprawling fields, lush greenery, and babbling brooks awaited Miss Savidge. The townsfolk erupted in applause, grateful for their participation in this incredible feat of human determination.
Miss Savidge's journey had come full circle, and her house now stands proudly in its new home. It serves as a symbol of overcoming obstacles, celebrating community spirit, and cherishing the past while embracing an exciting future.
The Legacy
The legacy of Miss Savidge's remarkable journey lives on in the hearts of the people of Whimsicalville. The house, now restored to its former glory, welcomes visitors who are inspired by the indomitable human spirit and the power of community.
Just like Miss Savidge, we all have dreams that may seem impossible. However, her remarkable journey teaches us that with determination and support, even the most audacious objectives can be achieved.
So, the next time you find yourself facing a daunting challenge, remember the incredible story of Miss Savidge and her house. Allow her journey to inspire you to take those brave steps and create your own extraordinary adventure.

‘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).
