The Donington le Heath Manor House, now known as the 1620s House and Garden at Donington le Heath, is a significant historical site in Coalville, Leicestershire. It is a surviving example of a manor house. With origins dating back to around 1290, it was built over seven hundred years ago. The present house at Donington was probably built between 1288 and 1295.
With centuries of history and many families who have considered this beautiful house their home, it is well worth a visit… but after dark, the place takes on a different atmosphere.
Whose spirits live here? What was their connection to this unique building?
Is it Sir John Digby? Once owned the manor; he fought for Henry Tudor against King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, just a few miles down the road.
Who still haunts this fantastic place, and whose ghosts have been seen here?
Be aware that as you walk through the door, you can feel the spiritual energy step forward. Come and wander through the chillingly empty rooms and soak up the atmosphere of this once-busy home. It takes on a whole new feel when darkness falls…
There have been many ghost sightings; housemaids and children have been seen flitting about the kitchen and bedrooms by staff and members of the public.
During one of our investigations, a tall man in a brimmed hat was seen, thought to be the disembodied spirit of Sir Everard Digby.
With many ghost stories, this is the ideal location for a paranormal investigation.

Why does our team rank this venue at the top of their list?
This venue NEVER fails to deliver… even our guests come back repeatedly. We had seen dark shadows, voices, faces at the window, and noises from the upper floor when no one was there.
Do you still need convincing?
We have some interesting events for you to investigate, take a look at Middleton Hall
