Childwickbury Manor
Childwickbury is a manor house in the hamlet of Childwickbury, Herfordshire. The house was occupied by the Lomax family for several centuries from 1666 until 1854 when it was sold to Henry Toulmin who eventually left the property to Sir John Blundell Maple, the famous furniture maker and retailer.
In 1906, the estate was purchased by Jack Barnato Joel (1862-1940), a very wealthy diamond and gold merchant, having built a fortune with his cousin and brothers under the Baranto Diamond Mining Company.
Stanley Kubrick purchased Childwickbury Manor in 1978, following the sale of its contents. His widow still lives in the Manor House today.
