She became a part of the local community attending the Methodist chapel. She featured in another television programme, Innocent Abroad, where Barry Cockcroft took her on a tour of Europe, where she met the pope and also visited the USA.
Hannah Hauxwell, died at the age of 91 in The last two years of her beautifully inspiring life were spent in a care home. The legacy Hannah leaves behind is what makes her relevant even today.
As one reads into her persona, one meets a self-reliant and independent woman, who was ahead of her time. She felt no need of a man to either support her financially or for companionship.
These words speak for her wisdom. One thing she never economised on was fire. Fire is one thing I have never economised on. This has been possible due to the traditional methods of farming followed by her.
She never re-seeded her fields nor used fertilizers, as a result the meadow is an example of an untouched environment. Although she was then only 46, her hair was white. As a result, Cockcroft took Hauxwell on her first trip to London, for another documentary, Hannah Goes to Town , to attend the Women of the Year Gala at the Savoy hotel as a guest of honour and meet the Duchess of Gloucester. When, a decade later, Cockcroft — who made many other films about people enduring harsh existences — heard that Hauxwell was considering leaving Low Birk Hatt, he made a new documentary, A Winter Too Many The farmhouse itself was dilapidated and piled to the rafters with belongings hoarded over six decades.
The documentary ended with Hauxwell and her remaining possessions — many had been auctioned or destroyed — setting off in a removal lorry, towed from the farm by a tractor as the snows came again. When I visited Hauxwell at her new home shortly afterwards, she was enjoying mod cons including a bathroom, central heating and hot and cold water. The Reverend Beverley Hollings, who took the service, said: "People just admired her for her determination for keeping going in those conditions.
Ms Hauxwell went on to feature in a number of further programmes but eventually left her farm in the s. The fields around the farm were turned into a wildflower meadow, known as Hannah's Meadow. Ms Hauxwell later lived in the nearby village of Cotherstone but moved to a care home in Barnard Castle in and then to the nursing home where she died.
