Ashburnham Place, Country house in Ashburnham, England.

The remaining south facade of Ashburnham Place stands amid gardens designed by Lancelot Brown, featuring three lakes and extensive parkland.

John Ashburnham constructed the original residence in 1665, with architect Stephen Wright executing a neo-Palladian reconstruction between 1757 and 1761.

The estate contained a notable collection of illuminated manuscripts, including the Lindau Gospels, now preserved at the Morgan Library in New York.

The Ashburnham Christian Trust manages the property as a retreat center, offering accommodation and conference facilities throughout the year.

The Victoria and Albert Museum displays preserved sections of the original dining room following the substantial demolition of the house in 1959.
