Worksop Manor, Grade I listed country house in Bassetlaw, England.

The stone-built manor features tall sash windows, a round-arched gateway with pilasters, and a quadrangle layout with hipped slate roofs and Doric columns.

The original manor, owned by the Talbot family since the 14th century, served as a temporary prison for Mary, Queen of Scots in the 1580s.

The 1585 long gallery on the top storey displayed notable architectural elements, including an ornate chimneypiece that represented Tudor-era craftsmanship.

The manor operates as Worksop Manor Stud, specializing in thoroughbred horse breeding since 1890, with restricted access to the main building.

James Paine designed the replacement building after a 1761 fire to be among England's largest houses, yet only completed one wing by 1767.
