Dist:0.4km<br/>The ancient manor house at Donington-le-Heath was derelict for many years in the 1950's and 60's, and was almost lost to posterity. Now owned by the County Council, it is a worthy museum to our ancient heritage and stages many events annually.

The door once opened onto a balcony leading to the great hall, sited where I was standing.
