It is believed that Robert De Herle bought the land and had the house built between 1258 &amp; 1295.

For nearly 700 years, the house remained a family dwelling.

In the early part of the 16th century, the house was modernised, and it was around this period the house may have been owned by the Digby family, who were caught up in the War of the Roses and the Battle at Bosworth.

And as history tells us, Sir Everard Digby achieved notoriety as one of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 as an associate of Guy Fawkes.  But, unfortunately, his crimes would see him meet a ghastly demise.

The house was left to several families over the years, and as there was no money to renovate, many of the original features from the past remain.

With so much history and so many families who once lived here, there is no question that Donington Le Heath 1620's Manor House is haunted!
