Is this Britain's greenest house?


Anywhere else in Britain it would not seem unusual. But this is on the border of Norfolk and Lincolnshire, by Holbeach Marsh, where hillocks hardly ever happen.

Might the periwinkle-clad mound be an ancient barrow, or spoil from some long abandoned mine? Well no.

What you see is the home and workplace of the Harrall family, probably the "greenest" house in the country.

Jeremy Harrall, a doctor of architecture, runs his practice SEArch (Sustainable Ecological Architecture) in an earth-covered building, beside the one that now houses his family; and in the oneacre grounds he grows fruit and vegetables for the family and no fewer than 17,000 trees and shrubs.
