Queen's Tower, Sheffield

It was designed by Woodhead & Hurst for Samuel Roberts, a local cutler, as a tribute to Mary, Queen of Scots, and completed in 1839.

[1] The two-storey building is in a Tudor style, with battlements and several turrets.

Its grounds were designed by Robert Marnock and incorporated walls and a window from Manor Lodge, where Mary had been imprisoned.

[1] On completion, Roberts gave the Tower to his son as a wedding present.

[1] His descendants, who lived in the Tower for several generations, included Samuel Roberts, the Member of Parliament for Sheffield Ecclesall, and his son, also Samuel Roberts, and also a politician.
