Queen's Tower, Historic house in Norfolk Park, Sheffield, England

The two-story Queen's Tower features Tudor architectural elements with battlements and turrets constructed of local stone between 1834 and 1837.

Samuel Roberts, a Sheffield cutler, commissioned architects Woodhead & Hurst to build this residence as a tribute to Mary, Queen of Scots.

Landscape architect Robert Marnock designed the surrounding grounds incorporating elements from Manor Lodge where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned.

The building underwent conversion into residential flats in 2004, adapting the historical structure to meet modern housing requirements.

The property includes castellated stone walls with a turret and incorporated materials from the medieval Manor Lodge into its garden design.
