Quenby Hall is a three-story mansion with an H-shaped floor plan located near Leicester. The building features brick walls with stone accents, a shallow pitched roof, and sits on elevated ground within a spacious parkland setting.
George Ashby commissioned the mansion in 1618, with construction completed in 1636. The residence was built during a period of significant architectural innovation that influenced country house design across the region.
The mansion is recognized by architectural historians for its early design characteristics and shapes the regional landscape. Visitors can observe the carefully preserved details that come from the original builders.
The location now functions as a venue for weddings, corporate events, and film productions. The grounds offer spacious indoor areas and extensive outdoor spaces suitable for a variety of uses.
The estate is home to mature Lebanon cedar trees planted by George 'the Planter' Ashby during the late 1600s. These trees remain a living link to the property's past and continue to define its grounds today.
