History of Lyveden: Situated in rural Northamptonshire, Lyveden is the unfinished vision of Sir Thomas Tresham (1543–1605). From the Catholic symbolism of the three-storey lodge to the remarkable Elizabethan garden, Lyveden transports us to the intellectual and religious world of Sir Thomas in the late 16th century. The Gunpowder Plot, besiegement and a series of owners with international links have all left their mark on Lyveden through the centuries.
