A parade of rock stars and former prime ministers had already earned the area around Charlbury the nickname of “Notting Hill-on-the-Wolds”.
Now, this corner of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds is earning a new nickname Stateside as the “Hamptons of England” due to its growing popularity with America’s super-rich.
Local wags believe this will be confirmed when it hosts JD Vance, the US vice-president, and his family next month when they head to the UK for their summer holiday.
