thumb|Linford Manor.
Linford Manor, also known as Great Linford Manor, is a seventeenth-century mansion or manor house converted into a recording studio complex in Great Linford, a district in Milton Keynes, England. It is now owned by Pete Winkelman, former chairman of Milton Keynes Dons football club.
History
The current manor was originally built in 1678 by Sir William Pritchard on land bought from the Napier family a little downhill from the site of an older medieval manor. In 1704, the manor passed to the Uthwatts, his relatives, who extended the house over time. It was originally the manor of Little Linford as well as of Great Linford.
The four descending ponds are fed by springs that still flow today. Two of the ponds exist on the Manor side of the Grand Union Canal, a third was destroyed during construction and the fourth is still extant on the Railway Path side of the canal and can be accessed via steps from that pathway.
Since 1970

Original grounds of the Manor
The former stables and associated gate houses are now an Arts Centre. The former almshouses beside the stables are now used as artists' studios. The Grand Union Canal runs near the manor house: it originally had its own wharf here (independent of the Great Linford wharf).
