Country church home renovation from George Clarke's The Restoration Man is going up for auction

George Clarke's The Restoration Man on Channel 4 was a popular property show that ran from 2010 to 2017 across seven series. The programme followed the rollercoaster ride of renovating and restoring a historic building by brave people looking to make a home from old properties that ranged from a pumping station to a water tower, from an old school to a World War II bunker.
