Mackworth Castle was a 14th- or 15th-century structure located in Derbyshire, at the upper end of Mackworth village near Derby. The home for several centuries of the Du Mackworth family, it was at some point reduced to the ruins of a gatehouse suggestive of a grand castle. A survey from 1911 suggested that though the gatehouse resembled a castle, the rest of the structure may have been more modest. Mackworth House Farm is 17th Century and sits on foundations which were once part of the Castle. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book Mackworth All Saints Church dates from the 14th century. It was restored and reopened by the Bishop of Lichfield on Thursday 13 November 1851.
