Rothley court's continuous recorded history begins with a mention in the Doomsday Book of 1086, although originally a roman villa existed on the site. The Holy Order of the Knights Templar, founded in 1118 by Hugh de Payens with the aim of protecting pilgrims visiting the Christian shrines of Jerusalem, began acquiring property in England.

The Order possessed a house in the city of Leicester and shortly thereafter were granted land at Rothley by John de Harecourt in 1203 and the Manor House by Henry III rd 1228. They built their chapel here, which today stands next to the current Manor House Rothley Court itself is a rambling manor, with beautiful gardens, steeped in history and concepts of freedom.

The Knights Templar used Rothley Court and the 13th century chapel in the building can still be visited. Lord Macaulay was born at the Court; he, together with Lord Wilberforce, became the great 19th century reformers working towards the abolition of slavery.
