Brief Description
Lying on the northern boundary of Northamptonshire with Leicestershire and overlooking the valley of the River Welland, Dingley Hall is situated on the north side of the village of Dingley. The parkland survives in good condition, except for building in the kitchen garden. Formal gardens survive to the south, albeit of unknown date. More formal gardens may have existed to south and west under the present informal landscape.
History
Sir Nicholas Griffin empowered to empark 72 acres in 1555. Little is known about the landscaping until the 19th century.
