Derek Davies makes wife "Lady of the Manor"

This is what the newspaper cutting says dated Saturday, 2nd June 1990:

Hilary Davies got a shock when her husband took her to see their new home - a 150 room mansion with four lakes set in 40 acres.  The 33 year old mother of two says "I thought he had flipped!  I was brought up in a council house and never saw myself as a "Lady of the Manor".  But husband Derek, 35, boss of Birmingham based firm British Home Doors, had fallen in love with Rangemore Hall, a run down mansion near Burton on Trent.  With the help of a friend, builder Steve Culley, Derek forked out £480,000 for the property which was built in 1854 for brewing tycoon Thomas Bass.  The Davieses agreed to share the work of restoring the mansion with Steve and that was the start of a back breaking two year refit which has brought the building back to its former glory.  Hilary and Derek now live in one 35 room wing while Steve, his wife and two children occupy a second.

The other two wings are on the market for £825,000 and £450,000 each.  During the renovation, Hilary became Jack of all Trades, and was often to be found beneath the floorboards working on plumbing.  She also supervised replastering work in many of the rooms.  Outside, Derek and Steve have almost finished building squash and tennis courts and a 60 foot indoor swimming pool.
