Queen's Tower is a house in Sheffield, lying on East Bank Road in the Norfolk Park area of the city. It was designed by Woodhead & Hurst for Samuel Roberts, a local cutler, as a tribute to Mary Queen of Scots, and completed in 1839.
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.
On completion, Roberts gave the Tower to his son as a wedding present. He enlarged the structure in the 1860s. The Tower was converted to flats in 2004.
