Wingfield Manor, Medieval manor house ruins in South Wingfield, England.
The medieval manor features two enclosed courtyards, multiple structures including a 22-meter-tall defensive tower and remains of a grand ceremonial hall.
Ralph Lord Cromwell, Treasurer of England, initiated the construction of this manor house in 1441 during the reign of King Henry VI.
Mary Queen of Scots spent several periods of her imprisonment at Wingfield Manor between 1569 and 1585 under the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury.
The manor currently operates within a working farm environment and remains closed to visitors due to structural safety concerns requiring extensive repairs.
The ruins contain what historians identify as one of England's earliest flushing toilets, installed in 1596 during innovations in sanitary engineering.
