Our roots

Rooted in Northamptonshire

Manuscripti began in 2002 at The Elms, in the village of Pytchley, and that is still where the work is done. The elm is how we say where we come from: a studio in the Northamptonshire countryside, a few miles from some of the county’s great houses and record offices.

Our first collections were local, and Northamptonshire is still close to our hearts: the estate plans of Boughton House were scanned here. Today the same hands and the same care serve councils, police forces, museums, estates and families across the country.
