Holdenby Manor is a country house and estate in Northamptonshire that originated as a grand Elizabethan residence built by Sir Christopher Hatton in the late sixteenth century. The house and its associated gardens represent a significant example of Renaissance country house design and were substantially developed during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The estate underwent considerable alteration and partial demolition during the Civil War period and its aftermath, with much of the original structure substantially rebuilt or remodelled in later centuries. The surviving gardens and earthworks retain evidence of the designed landscape layout characteristic of the Tudor and Stuart periods, including formal garden features and the broader estate framework.
