Get DirectionsJimmy Page purchased the Old Mill House in Clewer, Windsor — a converted Victorian mill on the River Thames — as his primary residence during Led Zeppelin's most productive period. Page was known for his interest in the occult and in the Victorian era, and the Old Mill House reflected his aesthetic: grand, eccentric, historically layered. He also owned Boleskine House on Loch Ness in Scotland, which had previously been owned by occultist Aleister Crowley, and maintained several properties that reflected his eclectic interests.
The Old Mill House was Page's base during the period when Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, and Presence were recorded. It was at Clewer Manor — sometimes used as an alternative name for the property — that John Bonham spent his final night on 24 September 1980, having been brought there after drinking heavily during rehearsals for a forthcoming tour. Bonham died in the house in the early hours of the following morning, and Led Zeppelin dissolved in the weeks that followed.
The property is a private residence and is not open to the public. Its location in the Windsor area — close to the Thames and the surrounding countryside — is part of the broader Led Zeppelin landscape of the English Home Counties, which also includes Page's Tower House in Holland Park, London, and John Bonham's farm at Rushock in Worcestershire. The house's association with both the creative height of Led Zeppelin and the death that ended the band gives it a charged double significance.
