The Manor Lodge site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and contains three listed buildings- the ruins of the lodge, a cruck barn and the Turret House. The site was originally developed as a hunting lodge for the medieval lords of Sheffield. The first documentary reference to the site is in 1479 (Harman & Minnis, 2004, 205). The lodge was turned into the main residence as Sheffield Castle fell out of fashion. The only complete building, the Turret House, is believed to have been constructed in 1574 (ibid, 206) to ease the captivity of Mary, Queen of Scots. During her captivity, overseen by the Lords of Sheffield between 1570 & 1584, much of her time was spent at this location. Along with Manor Cottage and Manor Oaks, the buildings form a group presenting a rare insight into medieval and early post-medieval Sheffield. Allows significant legibility of the former elite landscape of Sheffield Park.
