Castle Ashby

Castle Ashby dates from the 11th Century. Work on the present building was begun in 1574 and continued till 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I stayed in the house. James I was another frequent royal visitor. The present owner is the 7th Marquess of Northampton and Castle Ashby today provides all the requirements of the modern visitor in surroundings which fully retain all the charm of an English Country House.
