EDITORS COMMENTS
Catesby Hall - Gateway, Ashby St. Leger, 1850: A Glimpse into the Past This print depicts the impressive gateway of Catesby Hall in the quaint village of Ashby St. Leger, Northamptonshire. The manor house, with its intricate half-timbered design, has a rich and intriguing history that dates back to the 17th century. The former residence of Sir William Catesby, one of Richard III's favored advisors, the hall holds significant historical importance. Sir William, who was beheaded at Leicester following King Richard's demise, had a successor named Robert Catesby. Robert is infamous for his role in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament and assassinate King James I. After Robert's death, the estate was forfeited and granted to the Irving family by the Crown. It was later sold to the Jansons and, in 1703, to the Ashleys. The present-day ownership is vested in Lady Senhouse. Our illustration showcases the gateway, which is still referred to as the 'Plot Room' by the local villagers. This room holds historical significance as the site where the conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot reportedly met. This engraved print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the architectural beauty of this historic manor house. The image captures the grandeur of the entrance, inviting us to imagine the events that unfolded within its walls centuries ago.
