Ashby St Ledgers is a village in the Daventry district of the county of Northamptonshire in England.
In 2005 the Queen bought the Ashby St Ledgers estate so it became part of the Crown estate. The manor house is said to be where, in 1605, the Gunpowder Plot was created.
The village pub is called the Olde Coach House Inn. The village church is dedicated to Saint Mary.
Ashby St. Ledgers was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book, which gave the place name as Ascebi ("ash tree settlement"). In Norman times, a church was erected on the site, dedicated to Saint Leodegarius, from whom we get the modern-day name derivation. The manor was given as a gift to Hugh de Grentemaisnil by William the Conqueror and passed to various other occupants until 1375 when it passed into the Catesby family, and became their principal residence.
The manor was briefly confiscated after the attainder and execution of William Catesby, one of Richard III's counsellors, after losing the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, but was later returned to his son George. It passed down the male line to Robert Catesby's father Sir William Catesby, who managed to hold on to the property in spite of massive debts caused by recusancy fines and years of imprisonment for his stubborn adherence to the Roman Catholic faith.
The manor's central location was also more convenient to the houses of the Catesby's many friends and relations. It is this central location that made Ashby St. Ledgers a type of 'Command Centre' during the planning of the Gunpowder Plot. It was here, in the room above the Gatehouse, with its privacy from the main house and clear view of the surrounding area, that Robert Catesby and the other conspirators planned a great deal of the Gunpowder Plot. After the failure of the Gunpowder plot it was passed to Sir William Irving.
Today the manor house is suffering from decay and neglect, and is in need of restoration. The former owner, Lord Wimborne, estimates it will take about £10 million to save it for future generations.

Aynho (formerly spelt Aynhoe) is a village in South Northamptonshire, England. It is located five miles (eight kilometres) south of Banbury, close to the border with Oxfordshire. Along with its neighbour Croughton, Northamptonshire (two kilometres to the east) it is one of the two southernmost villages in Northamptonshire. Aynho lies close to the River Cherwell.
The village was once served by two rail stations, both operated by the Great Western Railway. Aynho station was on the main Oxford-Banbury GWR route, constructed in the 1850s. It was closed in 1964, and is still intact today. Aynho Park Halt was on the Bicester cut-off constructed by the GWR in 1910, approximately a quarter of a mile to the east of Aynho station. It was closed in 1963, and its station building remains intact as well. The nearby flying junction between the two GWR main lines is still in use today, traversed by a variety of traffic operating from Birmingham and the North of England to Oxford, Reading, London and the south coast of England.
The village also enjoys interchange with the Oxford Canal at Aynho Wharf, near Aynho station.
Prominent residents have included mathematician Mary Cartwright, 17th century politician Sir Ralph Winwood, and architect Philip Speakman Webb.
