Easton Neston House, Northamptonshire

Easton Neston House is a country house near Towcester, Northamptonshire.

A descendant, Sir William Fermor, MP for Northampton and a prominent politician, rebuilt the property in the late 17th century. The family retained the house until 1857 when it passed on the death of the fifth Earl to his sister's son Thomas Hesketh, sixth Baronet, of Rufford in Lancashire, who made Easton his seat. It is within the council area of West Northamptonshire.
