Weekend Picks: Haunted Heritage Evening

Leicester: Sat 3rd - Sun 4th December

Donington Le Heath Manor House is one of the oldest houses in England. It is believed that Robert De Herle bought the land and had the house built between 1258 & 1295.

For nearly 700 years the house remained a family dwelling but in the early part of the 16th Century, the house may have been owned by a close friend of Guy Fawkes.

In 1963 the house was purchased by Leicestershire County Council and the building was restored and opened to the public as a museum. There is said to be the ghosts of a housemaid and also a man of 17th Century appearance with a tall brimmed hat.
