Childwickbury Manor is a manor in Hertfordshire, England, between St Albans and Harpenden. ==History== The Lomax family bought the house in 1666 and lived there until 1854 when Joshua Lomax sold it to Henry Hayman Toulmin, a wealthy ship owner, High Sheriff of Hertfordshire and mayor of St Albans. Toulmin left the property to Sir John Blundell Maple around 20 years later. Toulmin's granddaughter, the author Mary Carbery, was born at the house.〔(St Michael's Parish Church )〕 Sir John Blundell Maple bred and raced thoroughbreds and built Childwickbury Stud into a very successful horse breeding operation. Another prominent racehorse owner, Jack Barnato Joel, bought the estate including the stud farm in 1906. On his death in 1940, his son Jim Joel took over the operation. He too became a successful racehorse owner and breeder and maintained the property until 1978 when the stud and the manor were sold separately.〔 It was advertised thus:
The stud was sold to the Marquesa de Moratella. Film director Stanley Kubrick bought the manor in 1978. He used the estate as both a home and a nerve centre for his film productions. ''The Shining'' was finished at this home and ''Full Metal Jacket'' and ''Eyes Wide Shut'' were started and completed there. He lived there until his death in 1999 and is interred on its grounds together with his eldest daughter Anya Kubrick, who died in 2009. His widow, Christiane Kubrick, still lives in the manor house. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Childwickbury Manor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
