Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Civil parish and market town in Leicestershire, England
The town center of Ashby-de-la-Zouch contains numerous timber-framed buildings along Market Street, with several structures maintaining their original Elizabethan architectural elements.
The Norman conquest brought the La Zouche family to govern the settlement during Henry III's reign, leading to the addition of their name to the original Anglo-Danish town of Ashby.
St Helen's Church, dating from the late 15th century, exhibits Perpendicular Gothic architecture and contains a collection of historical memorials and a rare finger pillory.
The town connects to major transportation routes via the A42 and A511 bypasses, with regular bus services linking to neighboring communities and East Midlands Airport.
The Ashby Statutes, a traditional traveling funfair held each September, continues a centuries-old tradition of annual celebrations in the town.
