Another day and yet another famous name is supposedly moving to the Cotswolds, or at least a part of the country that they think is the Cotswolds but usually isn’t. This time it’s Beyoncé, who is said to be in the final stages of buying 60 acres near Wigginton, which isn’t in the Cotswolds.
To be fair, it’s closer than it is to Northampton, say, or Coventry, which is more than you can say for half the other places routinely cited, so fair do’s. Anyway, she and her husband, Jay-Z, are apparently seeking planning permission to build a spectacular rural estate in Wigginton in which they will no doubt spend two days a year when the Hamptons is too hot, and good luck to them.
