Once home to the Catesby family, Ashby Manor House in Northamptonshire is the site of one of England’s most notorious acts of treason: the Gunpowder Plot. In 1605 Robert Catesby and his fellow conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, gathered in the manor’s gatehouse where they conspired to assassinate King James I and his courtiers by blowing up the Houses of Parliament. Today it’s a popular wedding venue offering a variety of accommodation.
