Nestled in a serene valley above the river Chater, this grand Tudor house was originally commissioned by Thomas Cromwell on the site of a former priory.

Cromwell acquired the estate during the Dissolution of the Monasteries but enjoyed it only briefly before his execution in 1540.

Known as Launde, indicating a clearing in the Rutland forest, the house currently serves as a Christian retreat and conference centre for the Leicester and Peterborough dioceses of the Church of England.
