Representatives for Jeremy Clarkson’s farm to be decided

The former Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter has lived in Oxfordshire for several years, owning Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington.

He added to this a couple of years ago with the £1,000,000 purchase of The Windmill pub in Asthall, which he renamed The Farmer’s Dog.

Having renovated the spot, Mr Clarkson opened it up to the public in August of 2024, and it has been a hit, regularly attracting large numbers of customers.

In its short existence, the pub has encountered its fair share of planning decisions, including the latest regarding the overflow carpark.

This is similar to Mr Clarkson’s Diddly Squat, which he has clashed over with West Oxfordshire District Council on many occasions.

Now the list of candidates has recently been published for the upcoming elections in the area.

West Oxfordshire locals will go to the polls on Thursday, May 7, with the election being for one-third of the council, with one seat in 16 wards being contested.

Those standing for the area of Chipping Norton, near where Diddly Squat Farm Shop is located, have also been revealed ahead of voting next week.

Sandra June Coleman is standing for the Liberal Democrats, Claire Eliane Lasko is up for the Green Party, and Darren Marshall is representing Reform UK.

Caspar Morris is the Conservative Party candidate, while Sian O’Neill is standing for Labour and the Co-operative Party.

This has given an idea as to who Mr Clarkson may be liaising with should future plans spring up.

Liberal Democrat councillor Nigel Ridpath remains in the Chadlington and Churchill ward, having been elected in 2024, meaning he will serve until 2028.
