Canons Ashby is a small village in West Northamptonshire. It is located about 3 miles south of Daventry and 5 miles north of Banbury.
Canons Ashby is best known for Canons Ashby House, a National Trust property. The house was built in the 16th century and has been home to the Dryden family for over 400 years. It is a fine example of Tudor and Jacobean architecture, and features grand rooms, stunning tapestries, and Jacobean plasterwork.
The village also has a medieval parish church, which is a surviving fragment of Canons Ashby Priory. The priory was founded in the 12th century and was dissolved in the 16th century. The church is now a Grade I listed building.
