Sheffield Manor
Sheffield Manor, also known as the Manor Lodge or Manor Castle, is a lodge built about 1516 in what then was a large deer park east of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, to provide a country retreat and further accommodate George Talbot, the 4th Earl of Shrewsbury, and his large family. The remnant of this estate is now known as Norfolk Park.
==Description==
The remains of Sheffield Manor include parts of the kitchens, long gallery, and the Grade II
* listed Turret House (also called "Queen Mary's Tower"), which contains fine seventeenth-century ceilings.
Some evidence points to the Turret House being built by 1574, when the Earl of Shrewsbury's accounts record payments for masonry work on the "Tyrret" at Sheffield Manor. It has three storeys of two rooms. The stair at one corner rises above the building onto the roof. This seems to have been designed as a viewing platform and is comparable with the "Hunting Tower" at Chatsworth House.〔Girouard, Mark, ''Robert Smythson and the English Country House'', Yale (1983), p.119 & footnote citing ms. Sheffield Library & Archives, MD 192 fol.168〕
