Description: | Built in 1440 by Lord Cromwell, Treasurer under Henry VI, Wingfield Manor is most famous for being the site where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned three times; in 1569, 1584 and 1589. During the English Civil War (1642-1646), the Manor was attacked by Royalist and Parliamentarian sides. In 1644 it finally fell to the Parliamentarians, who promptly closed the house down to discourage further dissent within its walls. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
