Ashby St Ledgers Manor house and gardens, including a walled garden of circa 1700 and formal gardens laid out in the early 1900s by Edwin Lutyens, West Northamptonshire, 2022. From 1375 to 1611, Ashby Manor House was the home of the Catesby family. In 1605 Robert Catesby and his fellow conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, gathered in the Manor's gatehouse and conspired to assassinate King James I and his courtiers by blowing up the Houses of Parliament in one of England's most notorious acts of treason, the Gunpowder Plot.
