- The very fashionable and glamourous Empress Elisabeth of Austria who had a passion for equestrianism and hunting resided at Cottesbrooke Hall during the 1870’s where she regularly hunted with the Pytchley Hunt.
- Sir John Langham made his fortune by cornering the raisin market in the 1600’s and with this fortune he purchased much of the Cottesbrooke Estate where he lived until his death in 1671.
- Cottesbrooke Hall is home to The Woolavington Collection of sporting art. Arguably the finest of its type in Europe where you will see paintings by Stubbs, Ben Marshall, Alfred Munnings and John Ferneley Snr. amongst others. The gardens contain the Scheemakers Statues from the Temple of Ancient Virtue at Stowe. These were acquired in the Duke of Buckingham’s sale in the early part of the last century.
