Quenby Hall, Grade I listed building in Hungarton, England.

The three-story H-shaped mansion features brick construction with stone details, shallow pitched roof, and stands prominently on elevated terrain near Leicester.

George Ashby commissioned the construction of this Jacobean residence in 1618, with completion achieved by 1636, establishing a significant architectural presence in Leicestershire.

The mansion gained recognition from architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, who declared it the most important early seventeenth-century house in Leicestershire county.

The property currently functions as a venue for weddings, corporate gatherings, and film productions, offering extensive spaces within its 100-hectare grounds.

The estate includes mature cedar of Lebanon trees, descendants of the original specimens planted by George 'the Planter' Ashby between 1680 and 1690.
