Probate Reveals Tony Martin Left £2.57m Estate to Pub Landlady

Probate confirms the bequest to a pub landlady reflecting his estrangement from relatives.

Overview

  • Probate documents dated February 14, 2026 name Jacqueline and David Wadsley as beneficiaries of Tony Martin’s £2,567,795 estate.
  • The assets include Bleak House in Norfolk, roughly 350 acres of surrounding farmland, and property in Australia.
  • Jacqui Wadsley’s husband says the couple were surprised by the bequest and plan to keep the farm running, having already been tenants on the land.
  • Since Martin’s death, the property has been hit by break‑ins and vandalism, leading to 24‑hour CCTV being installed and his 1975 Range Rover being stripped for parts.
  • Martin died in February 2025 at 80 after a stroke; his 1999 shooting case was reduced from murder to manslaughter on appeal, and surviving intruder Brendon Fearon says he holds no anger toward him.
