My grandfather and great Aunt inherited the family farm there, in Gloucestershire.
Because, legally, they would have had to move to England to inherit, they chose to pass the inheritance to an English relative who had pursued them to the States hoping they would sign everything over to him, and they did.
Had they had not decided to remain in America, my father and his brother might have inherited it and then my cousins, my brother and myself. That would have been the only reason I would move to England.

@Nimbus I don't know for sure. The farm could not be sold, as it was one of those protected historical sites. I don't think you can ever know what it would be like living in another country until you try it...but it is likely I would have been unhappy. Too much upkeep, not enough American stuff all around and so on. Culture shock, I'm sure.
