Torksey Castle is an Elizabethan manor house located in the village of Torksey on the east bank of the River Trent in Lincolnshire, England. It is 12 miles northwest of Lincoln on the A156 road. Seven miles to the north is Gainsborough Old Hall and 10 miles southeast is Lincoln Castle. It is a 16th-century Tudor stone-built fortified manor house founded by the Jermyn family of Suffolk. It is a Grade-I listed building[1] and a scheduled ancient monument but the building is on the Heritage at Risk Register. The site is private, with no public access, and is only visible from the A156 road and a public footpath, on the west bank of the River Trent.
