Redroofs was home to Ivor Novello and where he composed many of his most famous works. According to biographer Macqueen Pope, he turned Redroofs into "the most famous theatrical country home in the land", throwing weekend parties for Hollywood stars. Potted versions of many of his hit musicals were performed for local residents at Littlewick Village Hall before being staged in the West End. Redroofs is now a stage school that includes actress Kate Winslet among its alumni.
