Sir Ranulph Fiennes, 82, is believed to have returned to his secluded Shropshire farmhouse after being moved between several care facilities over the past year. His reported whereabouts have renewed concerns among friends and relatives about his welfare, though Cheshire Police said it had identified no immediate safeguarding concerns.

The article says two modular homes were recently installed behind a six-foot security gate, one for Fiennes and one for his carer. Friends and fellow explorers have called for an investigation, while his stepson Alex Millington-Cotes wants his mother’s power of attorney over Fiennes reviewed; the Office of the Public Guardian has reportedly rejected nine complaints as outside its remit. Fiennes has Parkinson’s and has not appeared in public for two years.
