Sheffield Manor Lodge, once the centre of a vast medieval deer park (over 2000 deer). In the early 16th century the Earl of Shrewsbury remodelled the medieval hunting lodge into one of the grandest manor houses in the North of England. Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in the Manor House from 1570 until 1584. Only the gatehouse remains although there are plenty of ruins.
