Tixall Gatehouse

The Babington Plot to assassinate Elizabeth I and replace her with her Catholic cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, reached its conclusion at Tixall Gatehouse in Staffordshire, an Elizabethan confection adorned with busty angels and beaming knights. Mary brought much of her bad luck on herself; in 1586 she was being imprisoned at nearby Chartley Castle while Elizabeth dithered over her fate, and Protestant parliament’s exasperation mounted.
