Historical interest.
In 1581 Queen Elizabeth 1st gave the estates of Gayhurst and Stoke Goldington to Sir Francis Drake, partly as a reward for the treasures that he had collected for her on his round the world voyages. Drake who needed cash to finance further voyages sold the villages within a couple of days of being presented with them.
In 1596 Everard Digby married Mary Mulso and so started the ill fated Digby dynasty at Gayhurst. Everard was one of the principal plotters in the Gunpowder Plot, in fact much of the planning took place in the yew tree lined walk at the back of the house, still known as "Digby's walk".

As any school boy knows the plot failed on November 5 1605. Digby and the other plotters were hunted down. Everard was caught by the Sheriff of Warwickshire and following the subsequent trial was hung drawn and quartered.
