The mansion and outbuildings incorporate remains of a former monastery, the Abbey of St Mary de la Pré , near the River Nene 1 mile south south-east of Northampton. It was founded as a nunnery about the year 1145 devoted to the congregation of the major Abbey of Cluny in Burgundy, France.
The Abbey's expansive sloping grounds are a nationally protected Wars of the Roses battlefield, as a one-time site of the advance of the Yorkists during the Battle of Northampton .
