This significant archaeological site has seen its surroundings change through the centuries. Once a hunting lodge in the centre of a vast medieval deer park, it is now surrounded by working people's houses, including a local authority estate. Between 1570 and 1584, Mary Queen of Scots was held here under the authority of the Earl of Shrewsbury.
