Plaque, Buxton Mineral Baths
What was once the Mineral Baths, now houses the Information Centre for Buxton. Its thermal springs were attractions in Roman times when Buxton was known as Aquae Arnemetiae. Mary, Queen of Scots, visited Buxton on several occasions while being kept a prisoner before her execution in 1587. She used the thermal waters to cure her rheumatism. The plaque commemorates the re-opening of the thermal baths in 1924.

Taken from the north eastern end of the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, I am looking at the Old Hall hotel, reputed to be the oldest hotel in England and which has connections with Mary Queen of Scots (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Hall_Hotel ).

Mary Queen of Scots stayed here
Well, she stayed in the house of the Earl of Shrewsbury, which stood on this site, when she was under his guard during her long imprisonment. But nothing of that building survives. The present Old Hall Hotel, which replaced it nearly a century later in 1670, is however the oldest building in the lower part of the town and claims to be the oldest hotel in England. The plaque can be seen to the right of the main door in Kenneth Allen's photo Image
