Tranquil Elizabethan manor house set in beautiful gardens.
The home of the Dryden family since its construction, Canons Ashby has
survived more or less unaltered since c.1710. The intimate and
atmospheric interior contains wall paintings and Jacobean plasterwork of
the highest quality. There are also a formal garden with colourful
herbaceous borders, an orchard featuring varieties of fruit trees from
the 16th century and a surprisingly grand church ?all that remains of
the Augustinian priory from which the house takes its name
