CANONS ASHBY HOUSE, Canons Ashby, Daventry Northamptonshire NN11 3SD

The home of the Dryden family since its construction, this Elizabethan manor house has survived more or less unaltered since c.1710. The intimate and atmospheric interior contains wall paintings and Jacobean plasterwork of the highest quality. There is also a formal garden, an orchard featuring varieties of fruit trees from the 16th century, and a surprisingly grand church -- all that remains of the Augustinian priory from which the house takes its name

Easy access from either M40, exit 11 or M1, exit 16. From M1, take A45 (Daventry) and at Weedon crossroads turn left onto A5; 2ml S turn right onto unclassified road through Litchborough. From M40 at Banbury, take A422 (Buckingham) and after 2ml turn left onto B4525; after 3ml turn left onto unclassified road signposted to property
