Campaigners want to buy former home of Pocahontas

Heacham Park was the home of John Rolfe, who married the Native American heroine in the 17th century.

It is up for sale for more than half a million pounds.

Campaigners, who have described it as the "lung of the community", want to buy it for local people and stop it potentially being developed in the future.

Pocahontas was the daughter of a Virginian indian chief involved in hostilities with the English in 1613.

Legend has it that Pocahontas saved the life of an Englishman, a man called John Smith in 1607, by placing her own head upon his when her father raised his war club to execute him.

Eventually she was captured and held for ransom. But when the opportunity arose for her to return to her people she chose to remain with the English, married an Englishman and changed her name to Rebecca Rolfe.
