Donington le Heath is a village on the River Sence just over 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the centre of Coalville in North West Leicestershire.

The population of the village is included in the civil parish of Hugglescote and Donington le Heath.

[2] As early as 1220[citation needed] both Donington le Heath and Hugglescote were dependent chapelries of the parish of Ibstock.

The lord of the manor was the Marquess of Hastings and the royalties were owned by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington.

The building stands on Anglo-Saxon foundations, suggesting that an even earlier structure occupied the site: it has a hall facing south and two wings on the north side and a moat.
