Drone photos show a massive brand new decking area outside Jeremy Clarkson's £1million pub - and tables outside hint opening might be soon. Clarkson, 64, bought The Windmill and five acres of countryside near the village of Burford in Oxfordshire. The dilapidated wedding venue is set to be totally transformed by the Grand Tour host, complete with a new name.
He had previously said: "There is some work to be done on the pub itself as the cellar is too small, the gable end is falling down, the outside decking area is dangerous, the water is unfit for human consumption, the loft is full of dead rats and the lavatories are illegal."

Tables and chairs have already been placed outside - hinting it could be open sooner than anticipated.
Clarkson has set out intentions to ban "noisy TVs", encourage traditional pub games, serve only British produce, and hand out a free pint of Hawkstone to farmers. The pub was previously not expected to open until later this year to allow time for refurbishments, and a wedding booked in before the purchase, to take place. Villagers have enthusiastically backed Jeremy Clarkson's plans to renovate the pub despite fears over increased traffic.
