Ashby St. Ledgers is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in rolling Northamptonshire countryside a short drive from the market town of Daventry. The settlement is largely rural, with a mix of farmland, parkland and a compact cluster of houses around the church and village green.
Its most notable historic feature is the manor house at Ashby St. Ledgers, long associated with the Digby family and famously linked to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605; the building and surrounding estate reflect the area’s country‑house history. Today the community is small and close‑knit, with a largely agricultural local economy supplemented by commuters who work in nearby towns and the Midlands, and village life centred on the church, village hall and occasional local events.
