Buildings

Withcote Hall
Withcote chapel

Withcote Hall is a Grade II* listed building[1] that is on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register as being unoccupied and in a very bad state[2] It is an early C18 country house, incorporating an earlier building. In the sixteenth century the house built by Roger Ratcliffe was described by John Leland as "one of the fairest houses in Leicestershire".[3]

The Tudor Withcote Chapel adjoins the Hall and is protected by the Churches Conservation Trust[4][5] and contains some stained glass attributed to Galyon Hone; a glazier to Henry VIII.

Sauvey Castle,[6] an early medieval ringwork and bailey castle and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, is also in this parish.[7]

Close by is Launde Abbey which contains the Tudor monument to Gregory Cromwell, son of Thomas, who dissolved the monastery and built himself a mansion there.
