About this location
A historic manor house for filming and photoshoots in Northamptonshire, set in beautiful formal gardens and steeped in English history. From 1375 to 1611 it was home to the Catesby family, and in 1605 Robert Catesby and his fellow conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, gathered in its gatehouse to plan the Gunpowder Plot.
The house combines several architectural periods, brought together in the early 20th century by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Inside are grand panelled reception rooms, a great hall with an ornate barrel-vaulted ceiling, a galleried hall, a library, a billiard room and characterful bedrooms, including a four-poster suite. The grounds include formal gardens with a long canal pool, a Tudor gatehouse, thatched barns, a stream with stone bridges, a tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool.
Within easy reach of London, it suits period drama, feature films, high-end fashion and editorial shoots, and luxury brand campaigns, with private parking for up to 100 vehicles.
