Hugh Bonneville has seen his assets rocket to more than £1.1million, just two months after his ex-wife resigned from their family business. 

The Downton Abbey star split from Lucinda Williams last year after more than 25 years of marriage, and she cut ties with their shared film-making business in January this year.

Spoondock Films had assets of £1,107,382 in 2024, up from £867,712 in 2023, Companies House records show. 

This included a spike in fixed assets – long-term property or equipment – to a value of £1,076,152 from £284,003 the year before.

In the time since their split, Bonneville, 61, is said to have moved into a bachelor pad in Soho while Ms Williams has kept their family home.

It comes as Lucinda, known to her friends as Lulu, has started works on their former property, installing a £50,000 greenhouse to grow her own fruit and veg.

She is adding dozens of giant solar panels at the West Sussex home she once shared with the actor. 

A field next to the six-bedroom, four bathrooms property – worth about £4million, on the outskirts of the picturesque village – has been earmarked for 60 solar panels. 

The actor bought the sprawling property for £1.1million in 2003 and moved in with his wife Lulu and baby son, Felix, now 20. 

The couple initially met as teenagers but lost touch, then met again in their 30s and married in 1998.

Five years ago, to mark their 20th wedding anniversary, the couple renewed their vows in Las Vegas.

But speculation about their marriage grew when the actor was spotted without his wedding ring at the wedding of his Downton Abbey co-star Michelle Dockery in September.

Days later the couple – who have a dog, Sasha – announced they had split after 25 years of marriage.

Lucinda had been spotted sobbing over a glass of wine with a friend in a bar in Milland, asking: ‘Do 20-odd years of marriage count for nothing?’

The couple were last seen together in public at the Old Vic Theatre in London for a gala in April 2023.

Last year Bonneville was pictured buying furniture and pictures for his new bachelor pad in Soho.

His latest film Paddington In Peru, the third movie in the Paddington franchise, was filmed last summer.
