Description
The House That Jack Built is the story of a family and the house they bought some ten years ago: Saltford Manor, the oldest inhabited house in the country.
As James Wynn set about restoring the building, he also embarked upon a quest to learn everything he could about the men and women who had built and shaped Saltford over a period of nearly a thousand years. They did not leave monuments or found dynasties, but they did leave their marks upon the fabric of Saltford in the form of the oldest domestic wall paintings in Britain, a miraculous medieval window worthy of a cathedral, the entwined initials of a husband and wife on a carved fireplace dating from the English Civil War and, above all, that indefinable 'something' in the feel of the place that makes a house into a home.
