Tutbury, market town and par. with ry. sta., Staffordshire, on river Dove, 5¾ miles NW. of Burton on Trent, 4001 ac., pop. 2306; P.O., T.O. Market-day, Tuesday. Tutbury is famous for its castle (built before the Conquest, and dismantled during the Civil War), the ruins of which are strikingly placed on a green knoll above the river; it was the prison-house of Mary Queen of Scots for many years. The church belonged to the priory which was founded here in 1080.
