Discover how the Abbey played host to Queen Eleanor’s funeral vigil, witnessed the Battle of Northampton, and survived Henry VIII’s dissolution as a private residence. Meet the Tate family—gunpowder plot investigators and political reformers—and the Bouveries, whose scandals, racehorses, and royal connections shaped the estate’s legacy.
You’ll explore the house’s evolving architecture, from Tudor kitchens to Victorian libraries, and hear how the Abbey was saved from demolition by the formidable Joan Wake, becoming the vibrant heritage site it is today.
Led by our volunteer historian guides, this tour is packed with stories, surprises, and stunning spaces. It’s the ultimate Delapré experience!
