Mary Queen of Scots
Tutbury was Mary’s most hated prison. She suffered much at Tutbury and was at the Castle as a captive of Elizabeth 1st on four occasions.
Some of Her Majesty’s service members saw her all in white. In 2004, at approximately midnight, she was seen standing at the top of the South Tower by over 40 men – in the form of a figure dressed in a pure white gown. They all laughed when they saw her – believing the Curator was teasing them by putting on an Elizabethan gown as a joke.
When it was pointed out that curator Lesley Smith does not have a white gown or any other Elizabethan enactors who work at the Castle, the men were profoundly disturbed by this sighting – a significant sighting as so many saw her. She was also seen rapidly crossing the grass one hot afternoon in 1984 by a serving Marine.
History Of Tutbury Castle
History shows Tutbury Castle has stood since 1071, at least when the Normans began building many castles nation to establish their authority over the people. Since its construction, it has played a significant part in the history of England, both in peace and war!
Perhaps the most famous historical fact relating to Tutbury is the imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots. She was held captive here on four separate occasions, and it was here where the plot that inevitably led to her death was conceived.
The de Ferrers family lived here when the castle was used as a wapentake. The castle was later the seat of the earls and dukes of Lancaster. During this time, Tutbury was one of the great centres of power. It was a popular destination for royalty, including many English Kings. It was also the home of the great John of Gaunt, 2nd Duke of Lancaster, whose descendants included many Kings, such as Henry IV, his son, Henry V, and his great-grandson, Henry VI. During his life, John was one of the richest men of his era and one of the wealthiest men to have ever lived. Considering inflation, he would be worth £69 billion in today’s economy.
It has suffered several sieges in the past, which resulted in the castle being destroyed and rebuilt many times. It was to suffer one last blow in 1647 when Parliament ordered the castle to be destroyed after holding out for Charles I during the Civil War. However, the castle wasn’t destroyed, and the remains are what you can see today.
