Richard Hammond

[Caran]

We went out for a meal with friends last night. I knew RH lived in a castle but hadn't seen it.
But last night we passed it. It is enormous, it's obviously very very old, complete with a moat. I somehow thought it would be more of a folly, but this has to be seen to be believed.
I read his wife's column in Sunday Express and she makes it sound like any other house. I know they keep an assortment of animals and the land seemed to go on forever too.

I happened to read his wife's column in the Express magazine on Sunday, and thought it very odd that she didn't mention her husband's serious injury. The few other times I've read her column, it seems she just more-or-less writes the same thing every week: take sick dog to vet, rabbits eating everything, something leaking in the house, poorly horse, escapade involving vet etc etc etc :)

If it's the one he bought in 2008 in Herefordshire it was a snip at £2 Million, though he has since bought the house next door to settle a neighbour dispute.

Good goalie a couple of weeks ago in her column a little item was added that the column was written before the accident.
Mamya it must be the same one, it's in a small village not too far from Ross on Wye.

It's reported that Hammond and May are on £7.2 million a year for their work on The Grand Tour, so it sounds like where he's living is rather modest!
