(11km/7m NW of Northampton) Belonging to the Spencer family since 1508, this is the ancestral home of Diana, princess of Wales (1961-97). The 16C house now has a late-18C character, having been remodelled from 1786 in a neoclassical style by Henry *Holland. It contains a notable collection of paintings.
