I have to visit this house - dammit, why didn't I know about it when I lived in East Anglia and had a car?

I didn't realise it was a real house....

I loved those books.

Don't know if either of you read Philippa Pearce, but our school was opposite the lane where she grew up and now lives. Tom's Midnight Garden was the garden of Great Shelford Mill House, and I played in it many times as I was growing up, and Minow On The Say is all about canoeing on the part of the River Cam that I walked or cycled past on my way to school.

Wow! impressed that people have been living in it since the 1100s. Reminds me of the beehive huts in Ireland which are still existant although only built out of dry stone (something to do with the way they slope). Rather the house than the hut though, as I'm guessing the people inside upgraded the facilities since the 1100s.

Oh golly - I didn't know it was a real house!

Those books scared me rigid as a child. I loved them, but they were scaaaaaaaary,
