Sheffield Manor Lodge, 197 Manor Ln, Sheffield S2 1UJ

Built in 1516, on a previous large deer park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, the lodge provided a country retreat and additional accommodation for George Talbot, the 4th Earl of Shrewsbury and his large family.

Mary Queen of Scots holds a notable link to Sheffield Manor Lodge as she was held prisoner there after her defeat at the Battle of Langside seeking support from Catholic nobility. However, she was not kept closely guarded and was able to plot against her cousin Queen Elizabeth with the help of the Duke of Norfolk.

Later when the Manor fell into the hands of the Duke of Norfolk, it became neglected, largely dismantled, and was sold to tenant farmers.

In 2004, the manor received £1.25 million to restore the turret house and develop the site as a visitor attraction.
