Our Name

Lynwode, Linwood or Linwode? The original treatment centre retains the old English version of the village name associated with the house whereas the village of Linwood uses the more popular phonetically based version of the name. We have adopted the popular version of the name for the group to which Lynwode Manor belongs and you will find us whichever version you adopt.
