Information About

The Manor Studio




The manor house was owned by Richard Branson and used as a recording studio for Virgin Records , although artists signed to other labels also used the studios.

In 1995, after the takeover of Virgin Records by EMI , The Manor Studio was closed as a recording studio by EMI .

Albums recorded here include, perhaps most famously, '' Tubular Bells '' by Mike Oldfield during 1972–73 when Oldfield was given a week to record the album at the studio. The Bonzo Dog Band were recording there immediately afterwards, hence the inclusion of vocals by Viv Stanshall , the lead singer of that band Tubular Bells information .
