Furious villagers have slammed the National Trust for wrapping a historic building linked to famed West Country writer Dame Daphne du Maurier in plastic.
Sixteenth century thatched cottage Half Moon House was once the bustling village pub and post office in Manaton, south Devon.
Romance author Daphne s sister Jeanne du Maurier lived there for more than 40 years until her death in 1997 and was left to the Trust three years ago when her partner Noël Welch died.
The charity had planned to carry out essential repair work including making the building watertight in 2020 but had to put it on hold owing to the pandemic.
