Lowesby, Leicester, LE7 9DH

Lowesby Hall is a large Grade II* Georgian mansion situated in the parish and former manor of Lowesby, eight miles east of Leicester in Leicestershire. The hall has long been a famous fox‑hunting seat in the heart of the Quorn country. It has inspired cultural references, such as the Victorian poem “Lowesby Hall” by the fox‑hunting MP William Bromley Davenport, which parodied Alfred Tennyson’s 1835 poem Locksley Hall. The hall’s Georgian architecture and its historical role in local sporting traditions highlight the rural character of Lowesby. The locality’s postal district, LE 7, places it within easy reach of Leicester while retaining a distinct countryside ambience that has attracted visitors and residents interested in heritage and open land.
