Canons Ashby House, Tudor manor house in Northamptonshire, England

The Elizabethan manor displays formal gardens with herbaceous borders, fruit trees from the 16th century, and terraces surrounded by walls from 1710.

The Dryden family constructed the house in 1550, making additions during the 1590s and completing the north range that enclosed the Pebble Courtyard.

The interior contains an extensive collection of Elizabethan wall paintings, Jacobean plasterwork, and presents the residence as it appeared in 1710.

The National Trust maintains the house, while the Landmark Trust manages the tower section, offering accommodation for visitors seeking extended stays.

During World War II, the London offices of 20th Century Fox relocated their operations to this manor house, with staff living in Moreton Pinkney.
