Mackworth Castle, Tudor gatehouse in Mackworth, England
The square sandstone gatehouse features a round arched gateway with side chambers and an upper floor containing a fireplace and two-light windows.
The structure, dating from 1495-1500, represents the last remaining portion of a residence that belonged to the De Mackworth family.
The gatehouse displays architectural elements from the Tudor period, including crenellated roof, corner turrets, and decorative stone carvings of heads above the entrance.
Located three miles northwest of Derby near the A52 road, the Grade I listed building allows visitors to examine medieval construction techniques.
Archaeological findings indicate the presence of a large platform north of the gatehouse, suggesting plans for an additional structure that was never built.
