Luxford House -Music History
Another one from my recent snowy walk. This is Luxford House and is less than five minutes walk from my home.
Luxford House dates back to the 16th century and it has a modest claim to fame in the music world. In the 1960's and 70's it was let to Tony Stratton-Smith, the record producer, who used part of the property as a recording studio. Bands such as Van der Graaf Generator and Genesis used to practice there and the sleeve of Neil Diamond's "Stones" album shows him sitting in the gardens of the property. Other musicians such as Leonard Cohen, Bert Jansch, Bob Johnson and Mike Nesmith have all been in the studio. It is also mentioned in Phil Collins autobiography. I just liked the view of it in the snow.
More detailed pictures of the beautiful property can be seen from when it was recently up for sale at www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5107385/Tudor-Mansion-sa... I should mention that our house is not quite so grand.
This shot was taken from the snowy lane which leads to the pub....
