It is not that far from a number of other great houses / features including, Belvoir Castle, Stapleford Hall, Quenby Hall and Langton Hall. Belton House is a 17th Century house thought to have been built around late 1680s. It is now owned by the National Trust but was originally owned by Sir John Brownlow. The house later came under the name of Cust as the Viscount Tyrconnel who owned it then, died leaving his sister as heir. The House is most noted for its paintings, Rembrandt, Rubens, Ruysdael, Titan and Van Dyck to name a few. Tintoretto's Entombment can be found the the House's chapel.
