Who run the world? Beyoncé, of course — and if the rumours are true, she might soon be ruling a corner of the Cotswolds, too.
The village of Wigginton, on the northwestern edge of the Cotswolds and six miles from Banbury, feels like a quiet backwater that the modern world has forgotten, complete with narrow lanes winding past golden-stone cottages with thatched roofs and rolling green fields all around. But locals may soon have some rather glamorous new neighbours. It’s reported that powerhouse pop duo Beyoncé and Jay-Z are in the final stages of purchasing 58 acres of land on the outskirts of Wigginton after receiving planning permission for a “spectacular rural estate.”
