The Memorial Field was established in 1951 as a memorial to the ex-school boys of Ashby Grammar School who had fallen in the World Wars. There is a bronze plaque on a boulder on the edge of the field which commemorates their sacrifice. The site is recorded on the Imperial War Museum register of war memorials. The opening of the field in 1851 was celebrated by a rugby match by the Leicester Rugby Club and a celebration dinner at the Royal Hotel.

The estate, which is now in divided ownership, contains two lakes, formed from canals which existed in the 17th-century formal gardens. The former walled garden contains a garden centre.

Pevsner described its position as “unsurpassed in the country – certainly as far as Englishness is concerned”.
