Headley Grange

Built in 1795, Headley Grange is a three-storey stone structure which was originally used as a workhouse for the poor, infirm, and orphaned.

[4] The building was bought in 1870 by builder Thomas Kemp for £420; he converted it into a private residence, and named it Headley Grange.

[6][7] According to Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page: Headley Grange was somewhat rundown; the heating didn't work.

[8]In an interview he gave to Mojo magazine in 2010, Page elaborated: The reason we went there in the first place was to have a live-in situation where you're writing and really living the music.

[10] Peter Gabriel and other Genesis members have acknowledged writing much of the material for their 1974 concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway at the retreat.

[11] In the 2009 documentary It Might Get Loud, Page is filmed visiting Headley Grange and discussing the recording of Led Zeppelin IV there.
