The Boyles claim their family has owned the grass since the 1930s
A pensioner claims she's spent £25,000 on solicitor's fees trying to solve a dispute over a small patch of land in her back garden. Nora Boyle, 83, lives in Selston , in a bungalow on farmland which she claims her family has owned for 89 years.
The land at Selston has belonged to the Boyle family since the 1930s, claims Nora. The house was once a pony paddock before being converted into a habitable property. Then, one day in 2016, the family received a phone call while they were on holiday in Ireland. They returned home to find their hedge, fence and trees had gone, and a new fence had been erected in its place.Nora claimed: "My daughter saw it and threw up. I was just stunned. Heartbroken. We'd only just lost my husband. I couldn't believe it."
