View to Low Leas House ...and beyond that to Dethick with its church tower peeping above the trees. Dethick was the home of Anthony Babington after whom The Babington Plot of 1586 was named. It was a plan born out of bitter religious competition that would have involved the assassination of Queen Elizabeth I.
