Here she is ...
In 1938 Abbey House was sold at auction to Harry and Annie Simpson, a wealthy couple from London, for £600. Sadly just a few years after the sale in 1947 Harry was killed in a car crash and following his death his widow became something of a recluse.
Annie became increasingly eccentric in her old age and could often be seen standing in the arched window watching the world go by, sometimes making comments on it all to no one in particular. She became something of a celebrity, though local people did try to protect her from the curious onlookers as much as possible. Annie lived alone in the house until her death in 1981
