Yorkshire farmer and recluse, Hannah Hauxwell lived a hard life,
alone on her small Pennine farm - until she became an unlikely TV
star in the 1970s ... Hannah's humility, simplicity and strange
accent - a mix of Yorkshire and Northumbrian with a Scandinavian
lilt - touched many viewers ... Hannah's attachment to Low Birk
