EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: After amassing a fortune making films in which unsavoury characters meet brutal ends, director Guy Ritchie looks to build a burial ground at his country estate


EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: He's amassed a fortune courtesy of box-office hits in which characters meet brutal ends - But Guy Ritchie has no intention of going out in similarly indecorous manner.

He's identified exactly where he intends to be laid to rest, amid the holm oaks on 'a grassy hillside' – overlooking Ashcombe, the idyllic Georgian manor house once occupied by society photographer Sir Cecil Beaton, which has been Ritchie's country retreat since he and his first wife, Madonna, acquired it for £9million in 2001. 'The proposal is for a small private burial ground walled in the local greenstone and flint chequer board, set high on the hillside overlooking the house and the estate,' explains Timothy Reeve, planning agent for Ritchie and his wife, model Jacqui Ainsley, whom he married in 2015. Joining far-Right activist Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox at the St George's Day rally in Whitehall — scene of skirmishes with police — were socialite Amanda Eliasch and aristocratic film producer Lord Antony Rufus Isaacs.
