Worksop Manor
Worksop Manor in 1900, then owned by Mr John Robinson, High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire
From BRISCOE, J. Potter Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire at the Opening of the Twentieth Century: Contemporary Biographies (Brighton: W.T. Pike & Co, 1901).
The first house was built by the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, and finished by his widow, the renowned 'Bess of Hardwick'. This mansion was destroyed by fire in 1761.
The present house was built by the Duke of Norfolk in about 1763 upon the site of the former.
In 1890 Mr John Robinson, High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, purchased the house from the Duke of Newcastle.
