Sheffield Manor Lodge - ruins
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.

Sheffield coat of arms on the gates of Manor Lodge
The motto (Deo Adjuvante Labor Proficit) may roughly be translated as “With God’s help our labour is successful”. The coat of arms was granted to Sheffield Borough Council on 16 July 1875, and subsequently to the present City Council on 1 September 1977. The building beyond the gates is The Turret House - the only complete building left on the site of historic Sheffield Manor.

A view of The Turret House, Sheffield Manor
Seen between houses on Southend Road. In the nineteenth century the idea was put forward that The Turret House was built as a prison for Mary Queen of Scots, but its location on the garden boundary wall adjacent to the entrance gate would make such a purpose unlikely. The building's architecture and ornate internal plaster-work have been discussed in detail in various publications. A building account in the notebooks of William Dickinson dated to 1574 may refer to its construction. Mary was detained at Sheffield Manor between 1570 and 1584.

The Turret House
The Turret House at Manor Lodge, almost certainly built in 1547. J. H. Brammall painted the Manor Lodge circa 1860. By a strange coincidence his picture also shows a piece of agricultural machinery. https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/manor-lodge-sheffield-72645/view_as/grid/search/keyword:j-h-brammall/page/1 .

Sheffield Manor - The Turret House with local authority housing behind
Sheffield Manor Lodge is known locally as Manor Castle but there has never been a castle there. During the period of Mary Queen of Scots’ captivity in Sheffield (1570 – 1584), George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury made many improvements to Manor Lodge. The building was transformed from a comfortable house to one of the finest Tudor buildings in England.
