Wingfield Manor, steeped in history as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots and a civil war battleground, faces neglect, leaving it in ruins and inaccessible to the public. Efforts to preserve it are led by Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust, highlighting a paradox where after government intervention to protect it from neglect by previous owners, the ownership change has resulted in even less care. As the site is no longer maintained adequately, there are calls for renewed government attention to restore this historic landmark to its former glory.
In this case, the government took it off the owner because he wasn't looking after it. Now the government isn't looking after it.
Despite its storied past, Wingfield Manor has fallen into disrepair, and members of the public can no longer visit the magnificent ruins.
