Lynn said: “Both my father and uncle suffered from Parkinson’s so it is close to my heart. Yet Parkinson’s is one of the least-funded charities in terms of research.”

She added: “The round house is nothing to do with religion but it illustrates an alternative lifestyle which encourages and empowers people to love and support each other.
