Sheffield Manor Lodge
Tudor hunting lodge ruins where Mary, Queen of Scots was held prisoner, with discovery centre and gardens.
Built by the Earls of Shrewsbury as a hunting lodge overlooking their deer park, the Manor Lodge held Mary, Queen of Scots for much of her fourteen-year imprisonment in Sheffield. The Turret House still stands complete, with remarkable decorated plaster ceilings.
The wider site combines romantic ruins, Tudor-style gardens and a discovery centre, run as a charity on a hill with long views back over the city.
