Tale of house rebuilt brick by brick set for cinema

The story of a woman who dismantled her home and began to rebuild it 100 miles (160km) away is to be turned into a movie.

May Savidge was in her late 50s in 1969 when she moved her 15th Century house brick-by-brick and beam-by-beam from Ware in Hertfordshire to Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk.

Her amazing story was told by the BBC's Nationwide programme in 1975, when she was 64.

Fifty years on, a film company has bought the rights to tell the tale in cinemas.
