Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thornby,_Northamptonshire

"Thornby Hall is located off Naseby road and carries 17th century, with 19th- and 20th-century additions, for its Tudor style. The house and grounds were used as a school for young people with severe emotional and behavioural problems, as a result of attachment difficulties which may have been rooted in early life trauma

In 2017, Thornby Hall became home to Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Centre, a Kadampa Buddhist community and public meditation centre. Stone House is c. 1700 and Thornby Grange was built in 1911 in the Stuart style."

"Built in the seventeenth century, Thornby Hall is a stunning Jacobean manor that is home to Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Centre and the World Peace Café. Set in 17 acres of grounds with woodland walks, parkland and a lake.

We offer a variety of introductory meditation classes, retreats, one-day meditation workshops, art courses, and in-depth study programmes. There is something for everyone – both beginners and more experienced meditators.

We are set in Thornby Hall, a stunning Jacobean building open every day from 11am – 4pm. Relax on our lawns and patio or explore 17 acres of grounds. Free parking available."
