We heard from a very reliable source (the guy behind the bar at a nearby tavern) that this house was once in the headlines. When a motorway was proposed that ran through this house the owner, an old Yorkshire farmer, was offered millions but to refused to move... so they built it round him. There is now an 8 lane motorway around the house, 4 lanes either side of it. And it is still occupied, but not by the original owner.
