Linford Manor.

Linford Manor, also known as Great Linford Manor, is a seventeenth-century mansion or manor house converted into a recording studio complex in Great Linford, a district in Milton Keynes, England. It is now owned by Pete Winkelman, former chairman of Milton Keynes Dons football club.[1]

History

The current manor was originally built in 1678 by Sir William Pritchard on land bought from the Napier family a little downhill from the site of an older medieval manor.[2] In 1704, the manor passed to the Uthwatts, his relatives, who extended the house over time. It was originally the manor of Little Linford as well as of Great Linford.

The four descending ponds are fed by springs that still flow today. Two of the ponds exist on the Manor side of the Grand Union Canal, a third was destroyed during construction and the fourth is still extant on the Railway Path side of the canal and can be accessed via steps from that pathway.[3]

Since 1970

In 1972 the Manor was bought by Milton Keynes Development Corporation to be an arts centre, flourished briefly with MKDC's financial support, but was closed in 1984.[4]

In 1984/85 Harry Maloney bought the manor and converted it into a residential recording studio.[4] The main studio housed a 48 channel/56 frame SSL recording/mixing desk, and was one of the first UK studios to invest in digital recording.[4] Accommodation for artists and producers was offered upstairs in the manor house. A second studio was built in one of the Pavilion Houses opposite the manor (now returned to community arts use). The Pavilion Studio housed a customised vintage analogue Shep/Neve inline desk. Accommodation for artists using this studio was in one of the Alms Houses next to the church in the manor park.

Directed by Harry Maloney in the mid-1980s through to the early 1990s, Paul Ward acted as technical manager, Bindi Belle (previously known as Mandie Emmings) bookings manager, Steve Groom house maintenance and gardens, Gary Wilkinson, Nick Blundell & Gordon Bonnar (formerly of the band 'Heavy Pettin') as in-house recording engineers. Dan Short was an assistant engineer.

El parque circundante permanece abierto al público y ahora es propiedad de Milton Keynes Parks Trust . El parque albergó el MK Food Fest durante tres años, de 2017 a 2019. [ 5 ]

En 1993, Pete Winkelman compró la mansión y continuó utilizándola como estudio de grabación. [ 4 ] Con el tiempo, la mansión se utilizó menos para grabar música. Actualmente, Pete Winkelman la utiliza como su residencia familiar.

Artistas

Durante este período , numerosos artistas y productores discográficos, tanto británicos como internacionales, grabaron en la mansión .

Biffy Clyro grabó allí su segundo álbum, The Vertigo of Bliss , y, según un mito urbano , les tomó solo 24 horas hacerlo. [ 6 ] Otros artistas que grabaron allí incluyen: PJ Harvey . [ 7 ]

Durante una sesión de preguntas y respuestas en Instagram , Jay Kay, de Jamiroquai, confirmó que el álbum Travelling Without Moving se grabó en Great Linford Manor.

Terrenos originales de la mansión

Los antiguos establos y las casetas de entrada anexas ahora albergan un centro de arte. [ 8 ] Las antiguas casas de beneficencia junto a los establos ahora se utilizan como estudios de artistas . El canal Grand Union pasa cerca de la casa señorial: originalmente tenía su propio muelle aquí (independiente del muelle de Great Linford).
