Tutbury Castle
Tutbury Castle is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle in Tutbury, Staffordshire, now largely ruined and owned by the Duchy of Lancaster. It was a major Lancastrian residence in the later Middle Ages and later served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The site is a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building.

As it stood in 1380
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a prominent grassy motte, the castle at its prime presented a continuous stone shell keep and curtain encircling the summit, with pierced openings and a crenellated parapet. A multi-storey domestic lodging was built against the inner curtain, its upper timber chamber set immediately beneath the roof and small windows looking into the court; rectangular windows and chimney stacks punctuated the service ranges in the inner bailey. The castle dominated surrounding farmland and a riverside landscape.
