Donington le Heath Manor House Museum
Donington le Heath Manor House Museum, Medieval house museum in Coalville, England
The Donington le Heath Manor House features period-accurate furnishings across multiple rooms, reflecting domestic life from the early seventeenth century.
Dating from 1290, the manor underwent substantial modifications in 1618, including a new kitchen, roof updates, and interior remodeling of the upper floors.
The property connects to the Digby family history, with Sir John Digby receiving land rights after supporting Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with adult admission at £5.95 and reduced rates for children and seniors.
The structure represents one of England's earliest preserved examples of civil medieval architecture, determined through timber dating and building analysis.
