INTERESTING ANCIENT MANORIAL ESTATE,

situated in a bcautlul part of Northamptonshire, four miles from
Daveutry, six from Weeilon Station, about fourteen from the county
town, not far distant from Leamington, and within sight of War-
wickshire.

This famed ,roaerty is briefly noticed in " Dugdale's Monasticon "
as Catcsby Nunnery, and since more particularly described in the
" Beauties of Northamptonshire ;" and to which the reader is re-
ferred. It pr, sents strong claims to those who would invest with
security, and at the same time possess some feeling of admiration for,
and who know how to appreciate the charm and importance con-
nezted with an estate possessing so many interesting relics of an-
tiquity, and since that period the true stamp of the good old English
time. The first object of importance to be noticed is
THE. ANCIENT MANOR HALL,
an. abode of singular pretension, erected with due regard to dura•
May, placed In-the centre of the domain, and commanding from its
front a quiet, picturesque, and lovely scene. It is a quaint and sin-
gular building In stone, of -a very early period, containing mumerous
lofty and well-proportioned chambers, many of them enriched with
fine old carved oak, offering every accommodation for a large family,
which, if assisted by a tasteful and judicious outlay for embellishment
and furniture, in accordance with its character, a residence not only
of the first importance but of extraordinary attraction would be
obtained.

A PORTION OF ONE WING IS DEVOTED TO A CHAPEL,

DULY CONSECRATED,
fitted up with carved oak pulpit, reading-desk, and pews, and con-
stantly used for Divine service. The offices are numerous, and open
to a spacious court-yard, opposite to which is a capital range of
stabling, coach-houses, &e. A pleasure garden of some extent, laid
out with much taste is In front, and a
ROOKERY, WITH A BEAUTIFUL GROVE OF LOFTY LIMES
close to the mansion. whilst a road through

A NOBLE AVENUE OE STATELY ELMS,
leads to an Ancient oentet cry, and the ruins of a chapel, a time-
hallowed spot of singular beauty, presenting a highly interesting
feature, the interesting village of Catesby, hi all its pristine quietude,
being close at hand, forming no small addition to the importance and
rental of the estate.' Several fish-ponds adorn the grounds, particu-
larly one of considerable promise, encircled by a grove of finely
grown "tees, where: numerous rlid-fowl congregate, and a never-
failing supply of fish is (Attained.
THE DOMAIN INCLUDES 646 ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND,
principally the richest pasture, well supplied with water, and several
woods, affording excellent preserves for game, in the parishes of
Catesby and Herndon, divided into
FIVE CONVENIENT FARMS,
each with suitable residences, the principal farm having a newly
erected abode, with capital buildings, let upon leases to a highly
respectable tenantry, and producing a rental exceeding 1,0001, a-year,
but there can he no question a considerable increase may be obtained.
The annual value, with the mansion house and land attached to it,
being estimated under the most adverse times for a farmer, at more.
than 1,5001. A YEAR,
_

including the manorial rights and other sot rces of profit.
Mr. Robins cannot close this announcement without calling upon
the capitalist to pay a visit to Catesby Abbey, in the full rssurance
