House & Family History: Lowesby is an early 18th century brick house with a 17th century core. The House is two stories with a nine-bay Entrance Facade and 11 bays on the Garden Facade. The Entrance Hall had a ceiling painting attributed to Verrio that was destroyed in a 1980 fire. Lutyens lengthened one of the wings and laid out the garden, circa 1912. Lowesby is a noted fox-hunting seat in the heart of the Quorn Country. The poem "Lowesby Hall" by the Victorian English foxhunting MP William Bromley Davenport (1821–84) was a parody on Alfred Tennyson's 1835 poem "Locksley Hall."
